I was just looking around on the net for some motivational stuff to get me moving along in my game when I found an extremely useful page on how you should make games. It said start with tetris, ya know the game where the blocks fall and when they get in a line they dissapear; it's a very simple game that's been around forever.

So I was wondering, wouldn't it be beneficial for someone to make some sort of tetris clone tutorial, for the newbs and all.

Could somebody make one quickly or point me in the direction of one on the codebase? I really think newbs would benefit.

Well, I'm trying aren't I.....

I made tetris awhile ago. I might make a tutorial if I get time, but I'm real busy the next few weeks.

That'd be nice, hope you can do it, and if you can't can you at least give some basic detail or structure and I can make one?

The was a Tetris 20-line compo winner:

Be warned, as a 20-line entry it isn’t very readable. But it’ll make good practice for learning to understand spaghetti code.

Hm, interesting and yes, a little complicated, but it works.

And gullible is in the dictionary if you must know.

Its a joke to get you to be gullible enough to look it up in a dictionary.

Oh, I know, I was just saying that as a joke. I'm a little slow I guess.
