Overview

Another Block is another Tetris® clone, developed in C#. It is still a basic game, with no special features, but we intend to implement several different features that we hope will make it more attractive.

This game was created with the intention to help people give their first steps in game programming, since one of our philosophies is to teach people what we know.

The initial development of this game was inspired by an article written by Geoff Howland, published in GameDev.net, called How Do I Make Games? A Path to Game Development. The article can be read here: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/design/features/makegames/. In this article, Mr. Howland writes two very important things, for those who want to start developing games: you have to start small, and work your way up, because game development is something that you learn with a lot of experience; and that Tetris® is a perfect game to begin a game development journey, since it has all the elements found in every game, although it is simple to make, and it doesn't need a lot of design. We agree with Mr. Howland, and we would like to thank him for that very good article.

One small but annoying legal detail, that I have to write here: Tetris® is a registered trademark of Tetris Company, and Another Block is not an official Tetris® game.

This is a first not very nice version of our homepage... :) Sorry about that!
