Project Summary

Gnat's Tetris Machine is a remake of Alexey Pajitnov's classic "Tetris" from 1985.

Gnat's Tetris Machine is written in pure C, and makes use of the OpenGL API for 3D graphics, and SDL for things like input and sound. It features a clean, commented, well structured C source code that can be used as a resource for learning how to program video games in C.

Gnat's Tetris Machine was originally written by Nathaniel Sabanski.

Gameplay Tips

Points multiply for clearing more than 1 row at a time. Large bonus for clearing 4 rows at a time (Pajitnov calls this a "Tetris"). See how many "Wanted Stars" you can get. If you manage to survive long enough, you may get to see the special Pepperidge Farms ending.*

* There really is no "Pepperidge Farms" ending.
