Awesome video, but you made a vital flaw. NES tetres uses what is known as a grab bag randomizer. easily done with shulkers, I would think. Basically tetris picks a spread of pieces then puts them in a register, it then shuffles the order of that register. This is to prevent a series of repeating pieces say being line piece 3 times in a row. or say never drawing a square piece for hundreds of moves. Both of wich were problems the original teris had to face and fix. All and all an impressive feat of redstone programming and engineering. However I would argue that because of your one fundamental change to its algorithm, you didn't make an NES based tetris, you made an NES inspired tetris with changes. Love the video great content, always happy to see you post.
i think it's a pretty common thing to just check if two things overlap and placing them in the previous position if they do in video game development actually (when you're not doing some very complicated continuous physics checks ofc)

@@BlueKirby808 The problem with this is that the player will expect the light emitted by the lamp to also have a different color. But this will take a complete redesign of the lighting engine of the game
okay, is it just me or did you forget the most important thing... a game over! its truly an amazing video, but the whole time i was wondering how you where going to implement it. and it got left out!
@@earendiIeur but it only checks for movement right? there are only checks for going left, right and down. because rendering the blocks doesnt follow these checks, it just renders inside the already existing blocks, just like before the movement collision was added.
@mattbatwings 1. Great video 2. insane to see that done with just redstone and no commands 3. As someone who read EVERY single instruction in the NES Tetris ROM: In the game movements within a frame is processed in the order of horizontal shifts, rotation, vertical drop The lines above a cleared line are shifted down one by one. The game check for a full line 4 times, but only where the piece locked. The next piece is not 100% random, the code to generate a random piece has a strong bias against repeating a piece and a small bias against I and L pieces. (This is just a very basic explanation; NES Tetris has a lot of quirks)
14:06 I'm pretty sure in the actual game, whenever you rotate, the game has a few positions it can check to see if it can put the rotated piece somewhere where it doesn't intersect anything, and if none work, it just doesn't rotate...
i still need to point out that building redstone doors don't exactly use the same skill set as building redstone computers edit: the comment is edited to be more accurate now
Very nice video ! I codded myself a tetris game in C with arduino and i met the same issue as you had with off-screen rotations. What I did is that i allowed them, and checked after a rotation if there was a part of it outside, if so, i move its x (+1 or -1 depending of the side the off-limits blocks are) and check it again, until the whole piece fits in the screen. However, i have no idea how hars it would be to do that in redstone, your work is really impressive
How do you deal with pieces that can't be moved sideways after a rotation (like a T piece falling down a 2 block wide opening, being rotated so that the flat side now points up or down) ?
@@davr1 oh yeah, T spin Tbh I didn't really cared about them, it was for a school project and my teacher isn't a pro so I don't think he even tried that lmao
I would've also added pistons to the left and right of the pressure plates to immediately move you to the center. But it is entirely up to choice, as some people might find it obstructing.
You are amazing at redstone but i think your real unique skill is in explaining things in a very understanding and entertaining way. In my opinion you are the absolute best redstone youtuber on the entire platform even if ur not the best redstoner.
Only one complaint. The dispenser isn't copying the Tetris bag system. Tetris works by filling a "bag" with all the pieces and randomly picks one out. When the "bag" is empty it just refills it and does it again. The reason I am saying this is because you can technically get alot of the same peices but this system prevents that. I hope this gets looked through because it seems like a really simple fix that will be closer to Tetris. I think you really should have looked a bit more in depth into how Tetris works, but still you made a great video. Just wanted to point that out.
Using various sounds such as shifting armor pieces for a user interface could be a viable alternative to the jump, that way, you can rotate while moving.
Downloading the world before Tetris Holding strikes. Always love how you can manage to build all of this in Minecraft. Technically, you are building a computer every time you make these projects, and I know that takes a lot of work. Really appreciate it! It also teaches how computers work, in a very fun way!
Really awesome build! I think that instead of 2 pressure plates on opposing sides for left and right movement, instead, use 2 tripwires that are at the player head level (and face the opposite direction of the jump tripwire-) because it is at head level, if they jump, they still can trigger it. This enables simultaneous movement and rotation.
Don’t get me wrong, this is incredibly impressive and super cool, but as someone who used to play competitive modern Tetris, I nearly dissolved watching this video
Subbed, I really enjoy how understandable you make it and how genuinely skilled you are. I’ve watched a few of your videos before and your effort is appreciated, enjoyable watch!
I will never NOT be in awe at the ability of Minecraft redstone and those who understand how to use it to the fullest. Just a simple game mechanic turned into building blocks for computer code
Well, in the nes tetris, it used a sprite sheet then colored it, so you could use something like glass, so it would show the black and white version of it, then put glass in front At least, thats how i think it worked
You could do the soft drop by applying it to the player’s input controls tick. So with the clock alternating between input/down/input/down etc. the input tick would also move it down and double the speed of the piece when you soft drop it. And for increasing the speed you could use a comparator clock with a signal strength comparison to make a variable speed clock that changes the speed of the clock based on the signal strength comparison, and you can change the signal strength to change the frequency of the comparator clock. If it’s all going on one clock you can make a 1 digit binary counter. Whenever the bit flips on it checks the input and when it flips off it does the down movement. That alternates the pulse from the clock between two circuits and makes it all operate on one controllable timer. It's kinda hard to explain in text but if you have a typical comparator fader circuit with two comparators powering each other with a decaying signal strength, and a torch output from the block used, then a repeater from the torch back into the comparator timer. The torch will pulse on for 1 tick when the comparator fade timer reaches zero signal strength, then it resets the comparators with a fresh signal. You can push a signal into the side of the second comparator to deactivate the timer early when the decaying signal drops below the input signal it cycles the clock. As you increase the signal strength going into the clock you speed up the clock. When the input signal is 0, the decay clock has to decay from 15 to 0, but if the input signal is 4 for example then once the decay signal drops to 4 the second comparator will output a zero instead of the decaying signal which instantly resets the clock early every time it goes around. So you could technically make a 16 level system, from 0 to 15 which increases the speed of the clock. I'm sure it can't run at a 1 tick clock speed though so if you extend the duration of the decay clock beyond 15 ticks maximum you can make a slower clock that still has a 15 tick range of speeds.
Attempting to make an example diagram top down view 🔴🔴➡➡➡...➡🔴 💡⬛⬅⬅⬅...⬅🔴 ❌❌⬆ the light bulb is a torch comming from the black square block and is also the output signal which will probably need to be reduced to a one tick pulse. The red dots are redstone dust. The left and right arrows are comparators pointed in that direction the up arrow is a signal strength input going into the last comparator which controls the speed of the clock from 0 to 15, 0 being the default slow speed and 15 being the fastest possible. You can make it a variable length to extend the duration of the clock entirely. So the length of the clock gives the range of durations while the input selects the speed between the normal duration and 15 ticks sooner than that. The red X is an empty space
Tbh, I feel like it would have been worth it to implement levels and softdrop, and then just use the /tick command to make the max speed faster. But it's still amazing that you are able to do all these crazy things!!! Keep up the good work!
i think i get it now why people like massive redstone builds. it's basically visualising of programs. if you made Tetris in python, it's just a bunch of code, but in the background there's also a lot of computation. but here it's all compacted into a single machine, giving it a giant look. it's pretty cool but i still think that making larger projects with regular code is way more exciting. redstone can limit you at times
Hey in the controls where are the pressure plates you could make it so when u stand on one pressure plate a piston will push you back so you dont have to go back
How can he make all this into a twenty minute video and I have spent over 20 hours building a calculator that can only add single integers. This guy is crazy. 😅
Since soft drop is an input, it could happen on the sideways movement / rotation clock ticks (seems fine to give soft drop priority over sideways movement)
I was thinking if he positions the player down slightly so that his head would intersect with a second tripwire, where if he crouches it would no longer intersect, giving you yet another input. I think moving the player down half a block should allow this while still allowing input by jumping to touch the top tripwire.
Amazing work, one thing I thought about is that when soft dropping I believe the player can't rotate or move left or right so wouldn't it be possible to implement as the piece moving down on the player clock as well while soft dropping?
Given your prior work, I think a hard drup might be possible for you, my thinking is to subtract remaining lines from Y, as for control a inverted trip wire could detect crunching.
You should add pistons to push the player back to the center of the control area so you don’t have to press D than S to step off the pressure plate before pressing D again to move the piece twice
Is it possible to use pistons to reset the player's position every time the player steps on a pressure plate? I feel like that'd be more intuitive because then the player's WASD would directly correlate to controls instead of needing to press the opposite button after every move to re-center.
Can villagers and skulk sensors be used for controls? Where you can rebind your hot bar buttons to whatever keys are comfy (only works for inputs that dont need to be pressed twice in a row)
The two clocks is essentially how real games do it too, but instead of two clocks you just use even ticks for one set of operations and uneven ticks for the other.
other than this thing is in the top 10 coolest things i've seen so far with redstone, i was wondering: to make soft drop, couldn't you have made the block skip a line when going down? Like, when you click the button for soft drop, the block starts going down skipping one row at a time. Wouldn't that work? Anyways, great job.
this video is literally exact thought process I had when I was coding tetris in javascript, though, uh... obviously your one is a little bit harder lol
For the collision + rotating thing... Would it be more difficult to just take the tile's current state, apply the requested rotation and see if that collides with anything before allowing/denying rotation? I feel like that could've worked too any may have been a simpler system in a way.
