A downloadable Tetris Vim for Windows and Linux

Bases

Tetris Vim is a simple Tetris game thought to have the commands of the Vim text editor (You can move the tetromino using "H", "J", "K" and "L") and to give to the player a good, classic, and playeble Tetris experience, without things or rubbish that could disturb the player in his experience, in fact this game is designed to be simple, and to be loved from the true Tetris fans. The game has been developed following the rules of the Tetris Guideline, a list of features that every game of Tetris should have to be considered as such.

Graphics

From a my inspiration from the Tetris for Game Boy, this game has a monocromatic yellow graphics, without too many graphic effects which can disturb the player experience. As a response of my philosophy a game, to be liked, must be simple, minimal and dry, in fact I think that beauty is based only on its forms.

Tecnologies

This game has been developed using C++ whith the SFML multimedial library for the window and the graphics, the sprites are made with Pixelorama and the project are organized with CMake, a perfect tool to make multiplatform projects.

Modifications

The project is open source under GPL licence, you can freely modify and redistribute the project without any problem, the code are organized to be understood and modified from everyone who have a medium experience with C++ and SFML. For this reason the code are on GitHub and the releases will be published here and on it. Source code on my GitHub Page

Commands

To move right or left, you should use the "H" or "L" key, to move down you can use the "J" key, to rotate the "K" key and to call the hold tetromino the "U" key. Remember that if you don't like the Vim's commands, you can also use the standard keyboard commands of Tetris.

Have fun!! ^_^
