Tetris in Labview

[unclebump]

Could you save that as a 7.0 format. Thanks.

hi sheldon, there is a tetris game that I made, you should look at it here is a link.

the reason that your tetris was lagging is that your pictures were either to big or to small and labview had to squish it every time a piece moved.

That's a good idea with the intensity graph, I tried to make the application as modular as possible, so that the board and board draw routine can be scooped out and a new one put in it's place. 

I've been learning Cocoa on the Mac these days.  (it's NeXTStep evolved a bit)  I haven't been this excited about a programming language (it's really a framework for objective-c) since LabView.  Imagine doing graphical apps with very little coding and very quick setup.  I can put up a hello world app with buttons in roughly the same time as labview.  No sub-classing, and a great interface builder.  The really cool part is that GNUstep allows Cocoa apps to run on a variety of unix-like platforms with very little application mods.

Sheldon,

I made a quick draft using a 2D array of color boxes for the display (LabVIEW 7.1). This is what I had in mind in my earlier post.

Altenbach-

Very nice, much nicer than drawing to a picture indicator.

"much nicer than drawing to a picture indicator."

Please do not give up on the picture cotrol so quickly!

Here is a rev of your posting that illustrates using an action engine to cache the static images and just update the moving stuff. See tetris2 (in LV7.1)

It also features that 3-d look.

What do you think? Still gonna give up on the picture control?

Ben

PS I'd love to see the dog version in an intensity graph.

Hey Ben,




My apprentice (code named "Vivi", above) has posted his version of Tetris:
Tetris.zip

His first publicly-released program. Has multiple levels, preferences for key assignments and colors. He would like your honest comments.

Very nice Altenbach!

😄

Costal,

Wow... you recruit your people at a young age..  Probably a good strategy 😉

That's a nice training project.  Good work guys!

😄

Hi Coastal and vivi,

That is a very very impresive first public release!

I will comment more latter if possible. There is simply to much in that example for me to do it justice this AM.

vivi,

Please give me an idea of what you want me to comment on and what you do not. Otherwise I will put your code through the same ringer I put my trainees through. WARNING: I can be very anal retentive when it comes to code reviews

Sorry about that, here it is in 7.0 format.
