I’ve been working on Lazy Tetris for a while now. The core of it is implemented and stable now. The main issue is to finalize the project.

This is a quick recap:

1. I’ve tried to use arcade Sections to better manage the View (the main grid, the next shape…etc), but without success. For some reason, the view started to capture my keyboard strokes twice. I couldn’t resolve this from the docs.
2. I managed to use Nuitka to build an executable on my Apple Silicon (dope!).
   1. To target Windows: It seems easy to do using MinGW64 compiler.
   2. To target Linux: It requires a docker container. I think I should build a flow for this later, but I can’t be bothered at the moment
3. I removed the initial menu and the leaderboard. It didn’t feel right. I just wanted to play, and all these buttons were distracting me from what I want to do.
   1. I will just keep the top score, and add that to the status bar for reference

Update: So, this is done for now. I’ve released the code and made a very silly video about it.

I am not sure yet how to properly communicate this kind of work, either on reddit or HN. At least with some friends they appreciated it.

Anyhow, here we are.
