Jetrix is a new generation TetriNET server written in Java and designed for maximum scalability, extensibility and ease of use. It features a web based administration console and a simple APIto let developers add custom commands or change the channels'behavior with little knowledge of the server's inner functioning. The ambitious goal of this project is to create the ideal plateform for server side TetriNET programmers. Jetrix is open source and developped under the GNU General Public License.
Check out the features !

Jetrix 0.2.3 released

Jetrix 0.2.3 has been released, it fixes the following issues:
- Fixed a bug in the mode 4 (25% pure) of the #custom channel that was causing a crash of the classic tnet 1.13 client
- The address of the server is now published to http://servers.tetrinet.fr instead of tsrv.com, tetrinet.org and tfast.org

Jetrix Monitor checked in

The code for Jetrix Monitor has been checked in Subversion this week. This is a new project to display a dynamic list of TetriNET servers on the web with detailed informations and activity graphs. It was inspired by the server listings found previously on tfast.org and tsrv.com.
The server listing can be viewed there:
http://servers.tetrinet.fr
The code is in the Subversion repository:
https://jetrix.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jetrix/monitor/trunk

Jetrix 0.2.2 released

Jetrix 0.2.2 is now available, this is a bug fix release, here are the issues addressed:
- Fixed a bug preventing clients from connecting on a server with a default charset different from ISO-8859-1
- The configuration is no longer broken by a "&" char in the description of a channel

Jetrix 0.2.1 released

Jetrix 0.2.1 has been released, this version fixes several problems experienced by windows users and a minor regression in the query protocol handler. Here is the list of changes:
- Fixed a bug preventing the configuration files from being saved if the server was installed in a path containing a space character (C:Program FilesJetrix TetriNET Server for example)
- Running Jetrix with jetrix.exe no longer saturate the CPU
- Fixed a bug preventing the execution of several query commands with the same connection. This made the server unlistable on tfast.org.
- Fixed the Shutdown button on the server administration page

Survival checked in

The survival mode has been checked in, give it a try! It should be available in the next nightly build. Join the #survival channel and drop as many blocks as you can before you die. Extra lines are removed if you clear more than two lines at once.

Jetrix 0.2 released!

Nightly build available

A nightly build is now available in the download section. It's generated daily at 6am GMT+1. If you want to know what changed in the nightly build since the last release, you can get a look at the changelog in CVS:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/jetrix/jetrix/doc/changelog.txt?rev=HEAD

Jetrix server list

Since our test server on terrabox.com is down and unlikely to come back in a near future, here is a list of servers currently running Jetrix if you want to give it a try:
tetrinet.games.skynet.be
tiggybitch.com
ns.bbs.us
200.222.221.143
They are all running Jetrix 0.1.3, it seems that no one dared to deploy a nightly build yet :) Fortunately the version 0.2 is almost ready!

TetriNET Server Survey

Since I just wrote a query client for the next version of Jetrix, I thought I could poll all the servers listed on tfast.org and tsrv.com and see what versions are deployed. 63 servers were checked, the result has been agregated by server family:
http://jetrix.sf.net/survey.html
Jetrix comes 3rd, not bad for a beta version ! :)

Project reports available

Thanks to Maven, various project reports are now available here : http://jetrix.sourceforge.net/docs/maven-reports.html
These reports are generated automatically on a daily basis. Those interested in the latest changes made to Jetrix might want to have a look at the new commit log : http://jetrix.sf.net/docs/statcvs/commit_log.html)

Tetris Tutorial: Part #5

Hello there and welcome to the fifth tutorial on how to make a decent Tetris game!

In this tutorial we will be going into some intricates of the block animations.
Warning: this is a long tutorial, so take your time reading it by parts or over again.

OK, let’s start.

Let’s take a look at a class CAnimation. It’s a template class where the passed template attribute is used as an array for custom frame data. For example, if we want each frame to refer to textureID in Textures database, we declare animation as:
CAnimation<int> m_Animation;

Why as an ‘int’? Simply because textureID is an integer (or it can be an unsigned integer).
OK, moving on, we take a look into details of CAnimation class:

The only interesting thing in this class would be the Animate() function, because other procedures deals only with resetting and get/setting member variables:

The overall design is pretty simple: run the animation that many frames (and that many loops) until it has finished. Not so simple in code, but yet more to come… ?

OK, let’s add member variables for block animations,

and their get/set functions accordingly. The tAnimationFrame is a structure consisting of:

I will not go into details of CTextureManager and CMaterialManager, because those are simply wrappers around dynamic arrays they control, that also acts as databases – e.g retrieval by uid, filename or index (or more). I will say only one thing: I’ve checked them and so far they’ve proven themselves as a good measure against duplicates of materials/textures.

You can take a look at tMaterial/tTexture structures, but they are very basic (except loading functions). You can load materials from file they are stored in, or add copies of materials/textures that are already in database but with modified attributes. Note that textures can have an alpha channel which you can specify by using ‘Mask’ RGB attribute of <Texture> tag:

Right now we cannot use sub-rectangles to map parts of same texture to different frames, so we are going to use separate files as frames.
OK, let’s add some textures/materials we’re going to use with our game:

Up to material 10 (we could use 1 material and 1 texture if we could refer to sub-rectangle of the single texture file!)

Tetris Classic

OK, so far so good? Let’s now take a look at XML file containing our game data. You probably remember the size of it last tutorial, so you will be surprised now:

Tetris Code Html

See, each block now has a list of animations! Please note that I didn’t put whole file here because it is too big, but the basic thing here is that EACH block will have those 3 animations! Each block in each figure! It’s not so hard to add those lines in, so let’s do it..

(Adding those lines takes time, so take your time :) )

OK, now onto the actual animations and their loading. We have 3 animations:
Block' default animation, when there’s NO animation (it sounds weird, but it’s easier to do texturing this way than adding a new variable for a texture):

Block’s default animation where it is going to.. um.. shine or flash, or whatever you can draw in animation package – you will have to expand it according to your new files for each frame (or sub-rectangles for one file) – same as above:

And finally our block’ disappearing animation – when a line is full we play this animation once (or twice, or how many times you want):

So, we’re done with our animations representations in XML file, let’s take a look at how we are going to load and use this data.
Since a user can declare ‘class T’ in class CAn
