btw, did you like my clone?
Well, since you asked:

- I liked the user interface. Very polished.
- I didn't like the way your pieces rotated. They don't seem to follow the 'official' piece rotations* and so just didn't feel right (at least to me).
*This is why my clone uses data statements to represent each of the pieces rotations, because some (like the bar) rotate around a 4x4 grid, and some (like the T) rotate around a 3x3 grid, and some others (like the S's) just flip back and forth.
- The music was good.
- I noticed that the backdrop changed when you leveled up. Very nice effect.
- I noticed some flicker when the pieces dropped quickly. Perhaps you aren't syncing to the vsync very well?
- I also noticed that when the pieces drop quickly, they didn't drop very smoothly (timewise). Your frame-limiting code (if any) must not be doing a very good job.
- If I wanted to split hairs, I would say that your pieces should not be randomly colored (each piece should have it's own color). This is actually important in some variations of Tetris (like Sticky-Tetris).
- I liked some of the new piece shapes offered in the Enhanced version. They reminded me of some of the ones I made in one of my own Tetris clones I made back when I was an early teen...
