Binary Tetris - 140byt.es

Binary Tetris - 140byt.es

A simplified variant of the classic tetris game done in less than 140 bytes of JavaScript.

Click here to play the DEMO!

NEW: A standalone version in 300 bytes: aem1k.com/tetris

Source

    function(a,b,c,d){d+=c;
    return[d<0|a&b<<d?a=
    parseInt((a|b<<c)
    .toString(d=32,b=new Date&2|1)
    .replace('v',''),d):
    a|b<<d,a,b,d]}

Feel free to edit the source and follow me on Twitter (@aemkei).

Example Layout

1.       2.       3.       4.       5.

.....    .....    .....    .....    .....
.....    .....    .....    .....    .....
...##    .....    .....    .....    .....
.....    ...##    .....    .....    .....
##...    ##...    ##.##    ##...    .....
###..    ###..    ###..    #####    ##...

More Information

The main logic to move blocks, detect collision, assign new blocks, remove full lines and render the layout are included. Excluded are keyboard controls and the final rendering.

This version is heavy based on binary numbers and bit shift operators. I had to limit the board size to 5x6 (30 bits), because JavaScript converts numbers to 32-bit integers when using bitwise operators. The two left bits are later uses to add the correct padding when dealing with numbers that start with "0".

Basic Concept

The Board

                  00000         .....
798               11000   =>    ##... 
                  11110         ####.

The Block

3                 00011  =>     ...##

Checking for Collision

                  00000         .....
798&3 = 2         00000  =>     .....
                  00010         ...X.

Moving the Block at X Axis

3 << 1 = 6        00110   =>    ..##.

Moving the Block at Y Axis

                  00011         ...##
3<<10 = 3072      00000   =>    .....
                  00000         .....

Combining Block and Board

                  00011         ...##
798|3072 = 3870   11000   =>    ##...
                  11110         ####.

Find full line (using base 32)

                  00011         3
3999              11100   =>    s
                  11111         v

@Evghenusi It could normally, but it's being parsed in base 32. ""+x only works for base 10 numbers.

Updated: Save 7 bytes by using ?: instead of &&() and reusing variable c:
function(a,b,c,d){d+=c;c=d<0|a&b<<d?a=parseInt((a|b<<c).toString(d=32,b=new Date&2|1).replace('v',''),d):a|b<<d;return[a,b,d,c]}

Save 11 bytes by reordering variables:
function(a,b,c,d){d+=c;return[d<0|a&b<<d?a=parseInt((a|b<<c).toString(d=32,b=new Date&2|1).replace('v',''),d):a|b<<d,a,b,d]}

Nice! So it's down to 128 (2^7) bytes. (Edit: 124 now!) I didn't see the last comment.

@tsaniel

tsaniel commented Jan 28, 2012

So it's 1<<7-1<<2 bytes.

How about using the 16 left bytes to fix the wrapping issue when moving to far left / right?
Or move the initial board/block state into the core function?

tsaniel commented Jan 29, 2012

I would like to see both of them even if exceed 140 bytes. (we can shave the bytes off then)

@aemkei I was hinting that it would be cool to see a data-uri version of this snippet..

@plaes: What about make it an 140bytes entry? (just the logic part fitted in 140 bytes, as "Tweetris")

Oh Wow wow wow wow wow!!!!! I am shocked, amazed, and laughing my head off!

And then I saw the licensing scheme! I am highly offended by the licensing scheme for it is entirely too restrictive! :D :D Why don't you loosen it up and allow me to rip it off and claim it as my own???

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 love everything! thanks! inspires me to pursue JavaScript!

I found you a bug if you keep holding the key to the left, it crashes, probably because the bits go off top. But other then that silly thing (The fact that I love breaking stuff) I have mad respect for doing it in 140 chars.

Hey you left out the control and display code. This game is like 900 bytes working. You're a phony! Hey everybody, this guy is a great big phony!

I made a version with a larger play field and no edge wrap-around problems, but I can't quite get it down to 140 characters. http://jsbin.com/aparub/3

here's my full version of Tetris with rotating pieces, the core function is 255 characters. http://jsbin.com/ujewuk/2

function(p,r,t,g,z){var k,d=z[0];z=((r+z[1])&15)-r;for(k=4;k--;)if(g[p+d+t[r+z+k]]){if(d>1){for(k=4;k--;)g[p+t[r+k]]=1;for(k=0;k<N*Y;k+=Y){for(d=2;d<Y;)d=g[k+d]?d+1:F;if(d<F)for(d=k;--d;)g[d+Y]=g[d];}p=W/2;t=T[new Date%7]}d=z=0;break}return[p+d,r+z,t,g]}
