TetrisDAI – Tetris in Java (May 2008)

“TetrisDAI” is an open source Tetris clone (highly modular) written in Java 1.6 (aka Java SE 6) with NetBeans.

Screenshot

It is my first Java game and was made in mid 2008.

The code is extremely modular and is ready to be modified and configured pretty easily by anyone. For instance, you can change control keys, their delay, add new pieces with different shapes or change the current ones or even delete them, change the colour of the whole game (including the pieces), change game visual aspect and sizes (width and height of the cells and of the map, text aspect, margins), decide whether to use images or just simple computer-generated graphics for cells and background, decide language (game is already translated into Spanish, Catalan and English and just needs to change a variable to choose one among those languages) or add new languages easily, change menu items, change initial speed and speed increase when next level is reached, change needed lines to finish a level, modify score system (score for piece placed, score for each line and exponential score increase for multiple lines), enable or disable sound and so on.

Official language is English but the code also includes Spanish and Catalan translations (as stated before, just by changing a variable, all the game will use the desired language).

This game has been tested under Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Windows, Mac OS X, Haiku OS and others.

Some C games (2006 to 2007)

Here are some games in C language I made during the time I was studying the “Programació estructurada i modular / Programación estructurada y modular” (Structured and modular programming) subject that belonged to “CFGS DAI (Ciclo Formativo de Grado Superior en Desarrollo de Aplicaciones Informáticas)” which is a Software development associate degree equivalent (similar to Foundation degree in the UK, Diploma of Higher Education in Scotland or Higher Certificate in the Republic of Ireland) at IES Baix Camp school in Reus city (Spain).

All are text-based games. It includes a Blackjack (aka Twenty-one) card game, a roulette game (with four different ways to play), a John Conway’s Game of Life (cells can be inserted either manually or randomly), a Mastermind game, Buscacaminas (pathfinding program with some Minesweeper characteristics), Pongetet (a pong game) and Pilotes (just a bouncing text generator). The IDE used was Bloodshed Dev-C++.

Conectayas – Connect four, Tic-tac-toe and similar connection games in JavaScript (September 2006)

“Conectayas” is an open source Tic-tac-toe, Connect four (aka Four in a row) and similar style games (highly configurable) totally written in DHTML (HTML, CSS and JavaScript).

Screenshot

It is my seventh DHTML game and was made in late 2006.

In fact, this game is not only a game but many since the player can configure it to play Tic-tac-toe, Connect-4 and other similar games. You can configure the number of human players (1 or 2 players), who will start playing first (first player or second player which can be either the computer or a human), board size, the necessary pieces in a line to win, the colour of the pieces and choose whether to use gravity or not (with gravity the pieces will fall down as in Connect-four).

You can also change the game behaviour easily by editing many of the configuration variables which are at the beginning of the script. To change the backgrounnd image you just need to replace it with another one.

This game only uses one image for the background which is not necessary to make it work, so all the rest you can see has been made using just pure HTML and CSS.

Official languages are Spanish and English.

You can find other modified and adapted versions of this game on the Internet, including one Opera widget and even a Drupal module found at https://www.drupal.org/project/connectiv.

This game has been tested under BeOS, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Windows, Mac OS X, BlackBerry Tablet OS, Android, iOS and others.

It is my fourth DHTML game and was made in early 2006.

The game includes a level editor and, as far as I know, it is the first level editor ever made using JavaScript.

You can also copy the generated JavaScript code which can be used to modify the game code by yourself, for example.

You can also change the game behaviour or add new levels easily by editing many of the configuration variables which are at the beginning of the script. To change the game images you just need to replace them with others.

Official languages are Spanish and English.

La Ranísima – Space Invaders alike game in JavaScript (February 2006)

“La Ranísima” is an open source game that was written totally in DHTML (HTML, CSS and JavaScript) and was inspired by the Space invaders classic although uses infantile graphics that will be loved by the youngest children.

Screenshot

It is my first DHTML game and it was made in early 2006 based on DOM manipulation, when almost nobody knew about the power of JavaScript for game development and all the technologies involved related with that were unknown by the vast majority of developers who preferred to develop games using Flash or even Java.

You can also change the game behaviour easily by editing many of the configuration variables which are at the beginning of the script. To change the game images you just need to replace them with others.

Official languages are Spanish and English.

You can find other modified and adapted versions of this game on the Internet, including one Opera widget.
