Finally designed a workable algorithm for a Tetris game. Here is a short (3.5 minute) demo video. Written totally in GFA Basic 32 for the PC. Enjoy! NOTE: This video has no sound...YET youtu.be/_wbxGhviogY |

Very snazzy!
I have to ask a wide-eyed 'I have no experience with the legal system' question:
Are you not afraid a game owner might "come after you"?

No. I write all my games from scratch, I do not have access to any one's code, I do all my own graphics, I do all my own sounds and I have no technical information on gameplay. I also don't write games for profit but for the challenge of being able to code it. As for Tetris...There are 1000 clones of that game already out there for every platform known...

I should start by saying, if you prefer not to discuss this, I will drop it immediately.
I am sincerely curious about this subject.
Is there a specific "loop hole"* that lets you offer known game clones and accept donations?
*Is it enough to say you built them from scratch?

Most of what I write is an all original design and even when I write a "clone" of another game it is usually officially classified as abandonware or I change many facets of the game to make it mine. Many of my games are only available to myself and not "out there" in the world. I would also gladly pull any game from the public should I get contacted by some legal department as I don't make money off them anyway. I program for fun!

I have always been very impressed with GFA Basic from the original Atari ST version to the current GB32 version and have been promoting it quite a bit across several forums.
