During the entire month of December I was stranded in washington state at my parents house with nothing except an internet connection and my computer. So I decided to learn C++ and how to make a graphics drawing class. I programmed a tetris game. I play it for fun because unlike normal tetris games, it just stays at the same lazy speed and goes on forever. I get a lot of productive thinking done while playing it. Also, it has a few fun features of the Nintendo 64 version, Tetris 64. You can build silver and gold squares (although you don't get any extra points or anything. It's just for fun) and you get a tetramino resevior to hold pieces in.
I was going through some old files and I found the project so I thought I'd post it. Some of you might enjoy endless tetris meditation. Just unzip the .rar and run Pooptris64.exe
I made the graphics in photoshop. Programmed from scratch in C++ using the SDL library using VC++ 6. The graphics and animation class I wrote totally sucks, but it does just enough to make a tetris game.

Also, if you are into the source or anything, please note that I'm not really a programmer and I was just hacking around. It's not documented and it's really messy. But I wrote every single line. =D
