Another Block

Hello everybody!

I'm here to introduce you to Another Block. Another Block is another Tetris® clone that I have developed for Tempo (my brand new company...). As we decided that games would be a part of our effort, developing a Tetris® clone became something we needed to do, for two reasons: first because we wanted to have a game, any game, released soon, and what's faster to develop than a Tetris® clone? Second, because we were interested in writting something like a tutorial to help people get into game development, and Tetris® is a good way to start, and we couldn't find a tutorial like "make your own Tetris® clone" for free in the net, so we decided to make one.

Now we've got the first working version of the game, and it looks nice and complete, with help and all (believe me, this is SOMETHING... Help files are something that NO developer likes to do), and people can play it, or play with it, since we are releasing it under GNU GPL. Soon to be is the series of articles that I'm writting, to help people follow my steps in doing this Tetris® clone. I'll publish them here too, don't worry.

We've got the Another Block project in SourceForge, and you can download it from there. The project's page is http://sourceforge.net/projects/anotherblock. There's still no beautiful and nice home page, but we are working on that too.

I hope you all like Another Block! Give me feedback on it! Thanks!
