This is a block stacking game for the game boy using the TGM2 era ARS rotation rules (no floor kicks, but with sonic drop) for the original black and white game boy written in assembly.
It supports TLS (until 1G), IRS, IHS, ARE, Lock Delay, and other such buzz words.
Scoring is somewhat like TGM1 within the bounds of what the Z80 CPU can calculate quickly enough.
The speed curve starts at 1/16G, so slightly faster than TGM, and goes smoothly toward 20G at level 500. There is no speed drop at level 200, and the game doesn't end at level 999. 20G mode starts at TGM1 speeds, then transitions to TGM2 speeds, TGM3 speeds, and finally it goes beyond even shirase mode.
The Randomizer uses a TGM2-style 4-history randomizer preloaded with SSZZ, and with 4 rerolls by default. This number can be changed and is shown at the top right of the playfield.
You can build the game yourself, or use the binary [here](https://git.villadelfia.org/villadelfia/dmgtris/raw/branch/master/DMGTRIS.GB) or [here](https://github.com/Villadelfia/DMGTRIS/raw/master/DMGTRIS.GB).
The game should run in any accurate emulator. For Windows or Linux using Wine [bgb](https://bgb.bircd.org/) is generally regarded as the best option. For macOS [SameBoy](https://sameboy.github.io/) comes recommended.
Please do not try running it on older emulators such as VBA, since this game uses the semi-randomness of the initial game boy memory as one source of RNG entropy.
- In very rare cases the frame time in TGM3 and TGW3 modes can be exceeded due to the way the RNG for those modes works. When this happens, the screen will appear slightly glitched for 1 frame but no frame drops will occur. This issues is fundamentally impossible to completely avoid though more optimization may cause it to occur less frequently.
- In frames where both rotation and translation happens at the same time, the ghost piece may be drawn one space too high or too low. Fixing this would require calculating the distance-to-stack twice and that wouldn't be possible on the original game boy. This issue is only a visual glitch and only for one frame sometimes. It will not be fixed.
