Rotation system
ok you certainly know the basics, but certainly it's not sufficient if you want to become a Gm Class player.
I'm a Japanese TGM player. Although I'm not a Gm Class player, I write some articles. So there are not certainly. And I hope that you could understand my poor English...
Rotation system is based on Tetris (Sega). So there are many differences from the "World Rule" of The Tetris Company. I write about "Tetris the Grand Master". It is an origin of "Tetris The Grand Master Series".
Attension: Block means tetromino.
Basic block control flow
- Check the Initial Rotation
- A new block appears
- loop until a block locked.
- Check a block actions. (Actions effect following the below sequence in a frame.)
- Rotation
- Horizonal Move
- Vertical Drop
- Check to lock a block
- Check a block actions. (Actions effect following the below sequence in a frame.)
Rotation Rules
Block color is differece, too.
I | O | T | S | Z | J | L |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Red | Yellow | Cyan | Purple | Green | Blue | Orange |
Please see 'cource on TGM' to the details. http://www13.plala.or.jp/TETRiS_TGM/kouza/1.htm (Japanese, but includes animation GIFs.)
Parameters
On TGM, the difficulty is decided by only 4 parameters. The names are unofficial ones. And I cannot transrate them well.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Syutugen Jikan (Appearance Delay?) | The frames between a last block locked to a new block appears. Is this called for 'ARE'? while this time, players can input actions for shift / IRS. |
Yokotame Jikan (Delayed Auto Shift Delay?) | The frames to delayed auto shift. If I keep to press the left or right while the specification frames, horizonal movement is faster to 1 row per frame. |
Seccyaku / Kotei Jikan (Lock Delay?) | The frames to lock until a block landed on. If the block's top is changed, this counter is reset to 0. |
Syoukyo Jikan (Erase Delay?) | The animation frames to erase lines. while this time, players can input actions for shift / IRS. |
