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.

let's include an entire nes emulator with it then. fceux seems to be about 8mb displaying at high resolutions irrelevant sand physics how much of binary that would add? What's your point? My point was to highlight how much overhead modern software adds.

because it wouldn't affect the binary size in meaningful way
So yes, it does absolutely and unequivocally affect the binary size. Having made NES games for fun before, they are two completely different worlds and it's not at all fair to compare them.

Bricks of Dune is a silly name I just thought up. On second thought, it reminds me of sand art in glass jars, just more dynamic.

so your advice is basically, go ahead and make your derivative tetris game but just call it something else?

The original wasn't built to have sand physics and to be portable on most major platforms, displaying at high resolutions... What's your point?

It's not officially supported as I can't test it myself. It should work in theory but as far as I know it nobody got it to run yet.
Perhaps someone can sponsor access to a macOS VM? Renting a Mac Mini M1 is $0.11 per hour at Scaleway.com (by the way, their launch video is hilarious https://youtu.be/jZJnrKjfA3s )

That's not true at all. The whole reason why graphics on the original NES were so compact is because the color palette was so limited. Not only that, but tiles could only have a maximum of 4 colors within them, one of which was considered the "transparent" color if you wanted blending. So they were only 2 bits. So yes, it does absolutely and unequivocally affect the binary size. Having made NES games for fun before,…
My point in NES or in modern software, the target resolution you want wouldn't have an affect on binary size.
Having made NES games for fun beforeI want to ask the same question, what is your point? Are you arguing that java runtime or several dependencies OP added is not an indication of modern software bloat?
