xttrs - (NES) Tetris in x86 assembly

Linux only, nostd, in about 2000 loc.

Showcase

Shit quality because GIF

Controls

• ← move piece once to the left
• → move piece once to the right
• ↓ toggle soft drop (can't be held because terminals don't support release events)
• X rotate piece
• ESC pause game

Options

Starting with -l or --level followed by a number starts the game at that level (max 999).

Building

To build you'll need:

• Make
• GNU As (doesn't have to be gnu, but must support GAS syntax)
• ld

You should already have all that on any linux system

make build

Built binary will be called xttrs. The code doesn't link against any library so you should be able to run it from anywhere.

Persistence

The best score per user is stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME/xttrs/best_score (defaults to $HOME/.local/share/xttrs/best_score).

Internals

The whole codebase is a huge mess with no conventions, probably a lot of stupid things, I'm still learning.
