Any chance of macos support? I tried running the jar, but didn't get very far, the jar seems to include binaries macos binaries for both x86 and arm, but it didn't want to start.

Tried running with following JDK on mac, but don't see any screen after the initial few messages:

This is nutty, I love it. One word of caution, I wouldn't mention the word Tetris anywhere, just use "falling block classic game" or whatever else, as it's one of the most trigger happy IP I know of after Nintendo. That said it's so far detached from the original you might be fine.

Or as the Chinese seem to like to call it, "Russia block".

BRICK GAME

Is it just me or does 60MB - compressed - seem a little on the large side for something of this complexity?

Developer here. This game was made in Java+Libgdx so it's coming with a bundled JRE which makes up most of the filesize.

Is there a way to just get a .jar, for those of us who already have JREs installed?

They could just wait until they get a complaint and change it then. There's no reason to just avoid the name outright.

A dmca counter claim takes at least 14 long days to respond with. In the meantime, your vitality will dry up. Trademark infringement is a bit different, since there’s no analogue to the dmca process. But it’s pretty reasonable to want to avoid the hassle by just changing a few words. (What is the expected litigation route for trademark claims anyway?

IANAL, but I would expect a cease-and-desist letter or the national equivalent depending on the country you're living in. Usually you have a short delay to remediate, or risk getting sued.

Not as a seperate download, but the .jar is inside the .zip/.tar archive. You can just toss the "jre" directory if you want to use your own JRE.

Cool game, pretty hard too, I love it! If you are trying to get it running on Linux (e.g. in WSL), you need libfontconfig, libxrender and libxtst installed. This worked for me on Ubuntu: sudo apt install libfontconfig1 libxrender1 libxtst6 export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=0 ./Setris-1.2 (I use WSL as a more powerful sandbox to run things. Windows Sandbox is, unfortunately, not capable enough to run graphics-heavy stuff a…

WSLg (Microsoft's implementation of graphical programs for WSL) also uses RDP internally. So I wouldn't think that is the issue with the Sandbox, unless you set up some other way of X forwarding. WSLg is still hardware accelerated and Sandbox might not be, however.

Even a word that sounds like Tetris, such as Setris, can be enough for a trademark issue

I like ugh's suggestion - Sandtris

This looks like a lot of fun. I'm curious, where did inspiration come from? I love playing creative versions of classic games like that and if something inspired you to build this, I'd like to try it too :)

This reminded me of a physics-based Tetris that a friend of mine built many years ago: http://phystris.pi-dev.com/
