A Tetris clone developed specifically for playing on the Steelseries Rival 700 gaming mouse, proving that it is a true gaming platform in the same league as an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive.
Like a VR headset, the Rival 700 mouse relies on you having a powerful computer to do the heavy lifting of executing the game whilst the mouse itself takes care of displaying the game, reading user input, and providing tactile feedback.
To build & run the game from the CLI:
./gradlew run
There are additional standard Gradle commands that do other things... You can look them up yourself.
Requirements to run:
- Java. I've been using OpenJDK 13.
- An OS supported by JNativeHook (used to get mouse input without having a window open)
- Steelseries Engine/Steelseries GG installed & running.
The controls are:
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Left click | Move piece left |
| Right click | Move piece right |
| Mouse wheel up | Rotate piece |
| Mouse wheel down | Soft drop piece |
Features include:
- Level & speed increase as you clear more lines
- Scoring based on Game Boy version
- Soft dropping
- Proper Super Rotation System style rotations (I think. Pinch of salt)
- Tactile feedback with vibrations at key gameplay moments
- Artisanal font
Cut me some slack! I'm the first video game developer to release a game for the Rival 700 platform. Also, it's just a fun joke I very sporadically worked on.
