Block Placer

Daniel Vishnevsky

Block Placer is a game heavily inspired by Tetris. Play solo, co-op or versus!

Features

Unlike most Tetris clones, this one features 3 different game modes - solo, versus and co-op. In co-op play with your friend on a larger map or challenge yourself to control two tetrominoes at the same time. Or just challenge your friends in versus.

Development

This game was made for the sole reason of transitioning from SFML to Raylib and it served its purpose well. This is a great project to make. I originally wanted to just make the Tetris logic but making it was so fun that I just had to add more game-modes. I think that the biggest challenge was to unify the logic of all 3 game-modes in a single state. I had some interesting errors in the process.

I had no idea how to use Raylib prior to making this. Something about throwing myself into the unknown feels right at home. Reminds me of the first time playing Terraria. At first it was weird to draw things in immediate mode instead of with objects like in SFML but I got used to it and in my opinion, it is a much better way to handle graphics.

Play

The game is available for free on Windows, Linux and MacOS.
