Hello all
I have converted my Tetris clone running in dflat (custom ROM and language for Oric). This is written in C with libraries for graphics and sound converted from dflat routines. Source is on GitHub (https://github.com/6502Nerd/Oric-Tetris)but thought it would be useful to provide the TAP file here.
As it is using OSDK then this is for the Oric Atmos not Oric-1 as I call ROM routines for some functions (e.g. hires, paper, ink).
Keys in the game:
- Left / Right : Move
- Down : Drop down fast
- Space : Rotate clockwise
When the game is in 'attract' mode, left/right cursor keys will turn music off/on. If you get to the high score table then simply type your initials here.
Scoring is as follows:
- Lowest line completed on the grid gives 2 points
- 1 point more for each line further up
- Multiple lines multiplies score by 2,3,4 of the normal value
- Thus risk vs reward - completing lines higher up the board gives more points, especially if you get multiple lines!
I have tried this on my trusty Oric-1 using the Atmos ROM using LOCI - seems to work quite well, in fact better than emulator as the keys seem more responsive.
By way of competition, my high score is 600, although the highest level I got to is 8. By level 8 it's quite fast and once you go wrong hard to recover!

Re: Oric Tetris
Great Tetris!
I really like the background music and the movement effects, as well as the melody that plays after the game ends.
The feeling during gameplay is really good.
I'm used to being able to rotate the pieces with the up arrow as well, so at first it was a bit difficult for me to get used to the controls.
(This game reminded me that I have a similar unfinished project!)
Fun fact: did you know that each Tetris piece actually has its own name?
