I've been having bandwidth problems with geocities.com, so I moved my game to angelfire. This is my first completed game--a Tetris clone I call, "TetriX". Any feedback would be appreciated: graphics, gameplay, choice of music and sound effects, etc... |

I'm creating a game in Dev-CPP using the allegro library. My game has a framerate of 400 fps, unless I add a rest() function; I'd like to regulate fps to 60. My concern is that if this game is played on different computers w/ different graphic... |

Music suggestions for high score entry screen
|
Hey Guys,
What song do you suggest for a high score entry screen? I'm making a Tetris mod (big surprise!) and I need fanfare-like music when you enter your name for getting a high score.
Also, what's the copyright rules for putting songs from... |

Fade Out - Allegro
|
How do I fade in and fade out a BITMAP blitted to the screen? One way is to have the images available in a file, and blit them sequentially, but I want to do this with a function in Allegro. |

Which Files Are Necessary?
|
I've completed a game in Dev-C++ using the Allegro game library. Which files are needed for someone else to play my game on his/her computer? My guess is:
- the .exe file
- alleg40.dll
- all the .o files (don't know if these are necessary... |

Question About Framerate
|
What are taken into consideration when determining framerate? I figure processor speed and type, memory, and video card speed and memory. I'm using Allegro for Dev-C++; I like to use the rest() function to control the framerate. If I were to consi... |

How do you make it where you can click the "X" close button at the top right corner of the window and it won't give you the "Warning: forcing program shutdown may lead to data loss etc..." message? |

I might put up the source code. It's kinda ugly though--one .cpp file has over 1000 lines. That's a lot for Tetris, I think. |

Wow, thanks for the input!
The zip files didn't work? Did you download from the angelfire site? Should work fine.
Extra console--I couldn't figure how to get rid of this. I know it shows up in all the demos I create (I learned game program... |

My Tetris Clone

I do have clockwise and counter-clockwise rotations for the blocks--they are CTRL and SHIFT. While playing the game, I found it awkward to control with two hands, so I allowed the UP key to do rotations as well--I think most players like to be able... |

Programmer16: I zipped it using WinZip 8.1 SR-1 (Eval ver.) I tried downloading and extracting it myself and was able to. Game ran fine. You can try this link. I had to move it to angelfire because I kept reaching my bandwidth limit.

Hi Scores Implementation using fstream
|
This seems all good; however what happens when you quit the game? Every time you restart, the data from the previous game won't be saved, which is why I created a file to store this info. I'll look at your link for fstream. |
