Erlang: Writing a Tetris clone Part 3 – Gameplay rules, final features and deployment

The third video in this series moves on with implementation of gameplay rules, scoring, the “next” preview window and packaging and deploying the game using ZX as a shortcut.

Writing this is a lot of fun. As of this video the game part is finished, but there are a few things such as high score recording and maybe some network features that have not been implemented. I might make a fourth video that covers these but it might be more interesting to move on with another example to demonstrate techniques to accomplish similar tasks.

Quite a few details that were noticed and mentioned in the first two videos have been updated in the course of completing the code for this video, so it may be interesting to check the commit history if you’ve been following along.

As always, have fun making stuff!
