Rhymes with Shmetris

[Patros]

Here's a Tetris plug-in I kludged together. The framework is based on the snake game found on this forum.

It will crash if you lose, so consider yourself warned

Keys:

Up - rotate (clockwise only)
Left - move left
Right - move right

Anyone who feels like adding more features like rotate ccw, preview next piece, levels, etc, feel free. I might do more with it if I get the time.

Nice!

To make it usable on the device, can I suggest a different key map:

- move left: ADD
- move right: PLAY
- rotate: scroll wheel
- drop: center button

[Patros]

Changed the keys, so it should work on the hardware now. Also cleaned things up a bit.


Move Left : LEFT or ADD
Move Right: RIGHT or PLAY
Rotate(CW): UP or SCROLL (left or right)

So, how do we install this?

[dean]

And let's put the instructions up on the wiki so folks don't have to
keep answering the question...

[Patros]

Extract the zip to /usr/share/jive/applets/ . If you're running jive on windows, extract it to release\lua\applets

In either case make sure that it creates a sub directory and extracts the files there (don't just copy the files in the zip to the location above).

And to get it onto the Jive beta hardware?

[kdf]

On Jive hardware:
Settings->Remote Settings->Advanced->Remote Login
Enable and make note of the password and IP addy. If it is already enabled, I hope you remember the password or you'll have to disable and re-enable.

unzip shmetris with folders structure
from a unix command line:
scp -r Tetris root@<jiveIP>:/usr/share/jive/applets

you will then be asked for the password, give the one shown on the jive hardware.

If all you have is windows...see if you can google an scp equivalent for scp.

Downloaded winscp - seemed to install and run ok ... enabled remote login on the jive box ... tried to connect using winscp, authenticated ok but then timed out waiting for the remote to respond.

Did this a few times in case I was misreading the lovely passwords, same each time. Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?
