The focus of this release was on increasing the game difficulty, fixing bugs and FINALLY implementing a ghost piece preview.
Fixed a bug that the fall rate of the game didn't changed when the game was restarted.
Implemented the ghost piece preview of the blocks, showing where the piece will be placed.
The fallrate of the pieces has been changed from 0.5 to 0.8 and the level of the game now changes every 5 cleared lines, instead of 10. This Change was intented to make the game a little harder, maybe that could possible make the game a little frustrating at higher levels, but when the implementation of the merge delay comes, it will be much more confortable.
Known Issues
If the game restarts while hard dropping (only), depending on the piece, some fragments of the tiles is still on the board.
Due to the lack of a delay from merging the pieces into the board, it feels harder to play.
Roadmap:
The importance of the features is from the top to the bottom.
Add a local ranking scoreboard of your top ten scores, it was supposed to be released on 1.2.0, but due to VSCode Extension limitations, localStorage was not a option.
Add a merge/lock delay: When playing on higher levels, its difficulty to exactly control where the piece will fall, since it immediatly merges into the board, with a lock delay, it'll be avoided, since the pieces waits for a while before locking on the ground.
Maybe more changes to the game difficulty.
A different style for the game, therefore no longer using the same style provided by the Hero defaults.
~~Xbox One/Series X controller support~~ - Probably not, who knows.
~~1v1 Online matches using WebSockets.~~ I definitely can't do it now.
The base of the project was built based on Rene Dellefont articles of "MAKING TETRIS WITH SVELTE", with my own implementation on Typescript and changes according to my preferences.
As for the game stlye, the background pattern and pieces was supplied by Hero Patterns by Steve Schoger.
