Tetris Clone

Unity • Solo Project • itch.io • PC

A faithful recreation of the classic Tetris experience, developed in Unity with core game logic handled via C++. This project focused on implementing clean, efficient tile-based mechanics and integrating a C++ backend within the Unity engine.

Design Goals & Objectives

Recreate the classic Tetris game from scratch

Implement tile-based gameplay using custom C++ logic

Explore spatial reasoning, grid alignment, and input timing

Integrate native code within Unity for fast, modular logic

Development Breakdown

Tile-Based Mechanics in C++

Tetrominoes are defined using matrix patterns and handled via a 2D tile map system. Key systems include:

Block rotation and collision validation
Placement locking and ghost preview logic
Row detection and clearing
Score tracking and speed scaling

Unity & C++ Communication

Unity handles rendering, animation, and player input, while gameplay logic runs through native C++. This allowed for:

Modular gameplay updates
Easy debugging and iteration of logic
A clear separation between visual output and game state data

What I Learned

Reinforced understanding of core gameplay programming structures
Built efficient grid-based systems for real-time logic
Integrated native code with Unity for the first time
Appreciated the lasting design brilliance of a minimalist classic
