Tetrahex

Overview

Tetris with Hexagons

Ever wonder what Tetris would be like if it used hexagons instead of squares? It would look like this! Tetrahex plays like Tetris, but uses tetrahexes instead of tetronimoes.

Options

Title Screen

Level - Starting Level. Each level goes slightly faster, but scores more points.

Speed - Changes the speed of all levels. Each change either doubles or halves the speed.

Controls - Left and Right always moves pieces the same direction, but you may choose what each other button does. Chose between

Hold - Swap the current piece for what is in the hold place. May only be done once per piece (you can't swap back and forth). First time swaps for the next piece.

Soft Drop - Drop the piece one hex down.

Hard Drop - Drop the piece as far down as it will go.

Spin Left - Rotate the piece 60 degrees counter clockwise

Spin Right - Rotate the piece 60 degrees clockwise

Randomizer

Type

Shuffle - The 10 possible pieces will be shuffled then added to the sequence. Once all 10 have appeared another 10 will be shuffled. This ensures you will never get a piece 3 times in a row, and a piece will have at most 18 pieces between apppearances.

Original - Each piece in the sequence is picked randomly, independent of other pieces in the sequence.

Seed - You may set a seed for the random generator so that you always get the same sequence of pieces. Use this to master a sequence, or challenge a friend to beat your score on an equivalent game.

Generate Seed - randomly generate a seed

Clear Seed - reset the seed to none
