The most complete tetris game on SL !
Tetroblox is a full featured tetris game built and scripted for the Second Life community.
Tetris is a game that was initially designed and programmed by Alexey Pajitnov in 1984.
The rules of this game are simple, a random sequence of 7 different tetrominoes all composed of four square blocks fall down the playing grid. The goal is to create one or several horizontal lines of blocks by moving the tetrominoes sideways and rotating them. When a line is created, it disappears and all the blocks above will move down.
As the game progresses, the tetrominoes fall slightly faster and the game ends when the stack of tetrominoes reaches the top of the playing grid and no new tetrominoes are able to enter.
In a duel game, the rules are basically the same besides the fact that if a player creates several lines at once, it will create extra lines with a randomly placed gap at the bottom of his opponent grid, making all his blocks moving up:
- 1 extra line for 2 lines created.
- 2 extra lines for 3 lines created.
- 4 extra lines for 4 lines created. (and not 3, you get the whole pack!)

TETROBLOX FEATURES:
-- An *in world* control pad to move and rotate the tetrominoes with also the possibility to play with your keyboard (requires to give permission). You can switch by left clicking on the "controlpad/keyboard" button. Playing with both at the same time or switching while playing is not possible though.
-- A preview window on the top right of the playing grid showing which tetromino will fall next.
-- A Start/Stop/Clear key that is pretty much self explanatory.
-- A Duel key allowing to request or answer to a duel against another player.
-- A little opponent's progress indicator showing how high is the highest block on your opponent playing grid in case of a duel. It will remain inactive in a solo game.
-- A top 20 ranking, with the best 5 being displayed on top of the Tetroblox. To get the full list, anyone can just click on the prim on top of the Tetroblox and it will be displayed in local chat. It will communicate with the SL wide ranking and scores will be added there if they're good enough once a game is finished, you can find it being displayed in the "Hawt Stuff" shop. As the owner, clicking on that prim at the top can also allow you to mix or replace different Tetroblox rankings, just click on the source one first and choose Transfer then click on the target one.
-- Several different colors . You can change it by clicking on the tetrominoes pictures on the right of the playing grid.

Have fun playing Tetroblox and good luck trying to beat the highest scores!

Cannot Zoom in makes it impossible to play!
Great game and layout, but when you use the keyboard mode, it moves your camera out, which makes it so hard to see the pieces and where you are putting them. If this problem was fixed it would be a 5 star game.
Please fix the camera positioning, and make it so it can be zoomed in on when using the keyboard mode.
Thanks
