Tetris Extreme

This project is put on hold untill I can get the graphic going faster. Can't have it slow down as I play.

I plan on creating a multi player game of Tetris using DirectX. It will have a AI too.

July 30

• Have taken a little break over the last few weeks.
• Added Debug window to Tetris Extreme
• Changed to window mode for debugging purposes
• The AI thinks now
• It now goes threw all the possible and gives a score to each one

• New AI - Still making it smarter and trying to work out out the correct ratios for the score

July 1

Have not had time to work on this project for a while. Have come up with some plans for the AI

June 21

• Figured out the slow down problem.  Was playing a game and it was extremely choppy.  I forgot to switch Direct X back to release mode.  Debug mode is really slow.

To-do list

• Add a fps so can check for slow downs
• Fix it so it Alt-Tabs correctly
• Add menu
• Add score
• Add Intro (A movie using direct show)
• Add nice display for game play
• switch controls over to direct input
• Add Two player support
• Add Network support (maybe something like battle net)
• Add file that hold game settings

June 19

• Skipped Title screen and started to work on game play
• Current method of painting to the screen too slow
• As more piece come down it slows drastically
• Going to try and see if I can work with Textures in memory so there is only one rendered to the screen
