Humble beginnings
devlog - This article is part of a series.
Over Christmas holidays I spend some time playing with the firefly-zero SDK. Over the weekend I took some free time to implement a Tetris clone. Parts of the game loop are already functional. My goal is to create a highly customisable version (configure block colors, enable games with/without save blocks, toggle next block preview, configurable number of rols/cols…), to make a more interesting version of Tetris.
Currently I’m struggling a bit finding a name… As I wanted to adhere to the firefly theme, I came up with “Luminos” (… Lumen, Tetriminos… get it? 😅). The problem: apparently there is a board game with the same name. I still like it and use it as a working name…
Other names I came up with:
- Lumen Blocks
- Firefly Blocks
Some additional names the fine folks of the Firefly-Zero Discord came up with:
- Fourfly
- Firetris
- Tetrafly
- Flytris
- Lucitris
- Lucid Blocks
