Title: Tetris for the Nspire!
Post by: apcalc on February 10, 2011, 07:50:29 pm

Over the past few weeks, several new Nspire projects have been announced/released.  Adding to this, new Omnimaga member wRieDen has recently announced his new Tetris clone, nTris, for the TI-Nspire!

The game sports beautiful 16-level grayscale graphics and different graphics for each Tetris piece!  Likewise, features such as a score counter have recently been implemented.  More information on the development of this project can be found in the nTris (http://ourl.ca/9087) thread.

It is great to see classic games like Tetris being ported to the Nspire.  Hopefully, in the future, the Nspire will have as diverse a game library as is currently present for other TI calculators!

We wish wRieDen luck in continuing development of his great project! :)

The current beta of this project can be downloaded here (http://nspforge.unsads.com/p/ntris/downloader/download/file/2)!

Wow that is looking simply beautiful!  Really glad to see all 16 colors are being implemented and used, and quite well I might add!  I can't wait to see what else is added to this wonderful project :D

Yeah!  The Nspire needs a good Tetris clone, and this one looks like it'll do nicely.  Good luck finishing it up, wRieDen. :)

This is another really good use of Nspire graphics. Great work and good luck!

I'm surprised I hadn't noticed this.  This looks interesting!

Yeah, same here. I finally saw it when I got bored enough to read all my unread posts :D
