Tetris applet

Here is a little applet I've written to check out this fantastic new language. I know there are sillions of other Tetrises around, but I just like the idea, that I can sit down on every Computer in the world, point the browser to my homepage and have a go in my favorite game. I like simple games, they are much more relaxing than a super-hyper graphic adventure game!

How to play

I'm shure everybody knows the goal of tetris, so I don't have to explain. You can use the Cursor keys to move, where 'UP' turns and 'DOWN' drops. To start, just press the 'New Game' button.

Attention: Netscape monges the Cursor Keys! In this case you can still play whith the following keys: J moves left K moves right X turnes Space drops Also the mouse has to be _over_ the applet, or it won't get any keyboard input. I will try to find a solution for this. Any hints? This is not very nice, but it works.

If you have a standalone java interpreter from sun, you can also run this as an app.

All this has been done useing the linux port of java(tm).

Here is the source for this:

Tetris.java TetrisBoard.java TickThread.java

You can do with it, whatever you want, but don't remove my name from it.
