| Description | Csabo's 1K Tetris
A game in 1024 bytes for the Commodore C16 or Plus/4. Written by Csabo/LOD. Finished 2002.09.15 - submitted for the 2002 1K GameCompo.
Description:
This is an implementation of the classic Tetris game for the C16/Plus4. It has a unique feature that allows the player to adjust the width of the 'pit'.
Controls:
Cursor Left: move current piece left. Cursor Right: move current piece right. Cursor Up: rotate current piece counter-clockwise. Cursor Down: drop current piece.
'1': make the pit width wider. '2': make the pit width narrower. Warning! Changing the width of the pit starts a new game.
(after game over) Press Space to start a new game.
Requirements:
Any Commodore C16 or Plus/4 (or an emulator of course). The game works with both PAL and NTSC systems! This software runs fine on all known Plus/4 emulators.
Technical details:
It's classic Tetris, what can I say? Okay, one note: While the piece is dropping, it can still be moved.
Try the game with a wider or narrower pit for fun.
The development time was lots and lots of afternoons and evenings spread over about 3 months. The code is very optimised, and it went through lots of testing. This game is believed to be bug-free.
Cheats/etc:
Use 'POKE 4843, [speed]' to adjust game speed (e.g. if you find it too difficult or too easy.) Lower numbers mean a faster (and harder) game. The default speed is 15.
Use 'POKE 4653, [speed]' to adjust how responsive the keyboard is. The default value is 8, which I found to be comfortable. Lower values mean the keys repeat faster.
Use 'POKE 4826, 169 : POKE 4827, 62' for a cheat. This makes the game kind of pointless.
Make sure to use the above pokes before starting the game, since this game cannot be successfully restarted after reset.
