Description:

Tetris (R) clone written in javascript for plasma!


All content is held locally on your pc (unlike my other plasmoids). Any feedback good or bad appreciated.


**To install, Remove previous versions (if necessary), download and:

plasmapkg -i jstetris.plasmoid

(you may need to rename the file to "jstetris.plasmoid" once downloaded or the installation may fail)


***UPDATE (19-10-09)***

JstetrisJava no longer works with KDE 4.3 and i see no point in fixing it as the original build works just fine. It has been removed.


***UPDATE (18-6-09)***

After some success with jstetrisJava on KDE 4.3x i have decided to drop jstetrisNoPY for the foreseeable future and split the project in two. The Jstetris build will be for KDE 4.2x only and jstetrisJava for KDE 4.3. I will give these packages separate pages here on KDE-LOOK to aid easy installation via the KDE add widget dialogue. I have also made some improvements in the javascript/HTML including a better defined puzzle area. Also the jstetrisJava resize issue should be fixed. The plasmoid should now open the correct size thanks to KDE-LOOK user "jmtodaro".

***UPDATE (17-6-09)***

After apparent problems people have been having with Aaron Seigo's "Zero code" approach i have rebuilt the plasmoid to use javascript instead of python also as described by Aaron. Unfortunately this also doesnt work on my 4.2 install so PLEASE TEST!!! The file you need is "jstetrisJava.plasmoid".

***UPDATE (16-6-09)***

After being pointed to Aaron Seigo's blog (http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2009/06/python-javascript-or-web.html) entry on my jstetris plasmoid and how python isn't actually needed to run the script, i have re-written it accordingly. Unfortunately this approach doesn't work (for me) in KDE 4.2 beta But should work in KDE 4.3 beta2 (and onwards).

PLEASE TEST!!!

Hi! I can confirm JstetrisNoPY and JstetrisJava both seem to be working with my install of 4.3 beta 2 (Kubuntu Jaunty backport). However, JstetrisJava opens at a small size and needs to be enlarged manually. Upon inital install of NoPy, I had crashing Plasma-desktop issue, but upon rebuild of ~/.kde/ and ~/.qt/ everything is working fine.

I would only suggest making the left edge more visible as I have a hard time telling where it is without sliding the piece all the way over. I also seemed to get a ton of repeats in a row at times (5+) but I suppose this could be intended behavior. Resizeability would be a nice feature too, but I'm sure that it is easier said than done =)

Keep up the good work!

Hi and thanks for your feedback. Regarding what you said ... "I would only suggest making the left edge more visible as I have a hard time telling where it is without sliding the piece all the way over." could you email me a screenshot of this as i am not getting this problem (maybe a DefaultSize issue?).

As far as the gameplay is concerned, i will be tweaking this as soon as the actual plasmoid is stable. I will also fix the hiscores as ATM they are not persistent.

Thanks again!!!

No problem, here is a screenshot to help clear things up! =) The default size issue affects JstetrisJava. JstetrisNoPY opens at the proper size.

Hi

The "left edge" is now fixed in 0.2 but unfortunately i still cant get jstetrisJava to resize correctly *groan* i may file a bug report soon as there is no reason i can see why it shouldn't resize.

I believe I have solved the DefaultSize issue. Please see my comment on the jstetrisJava (for KDE 4.3) page. http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/JstetrisJava+(For+KDE+4.3)?content=107146

Hi and thanks again for your response. I really cant see why its not resizing? In the "metadata.desktop" file contained in the plasmapkg i have put the argument "X-Plasma-DefautSize=340,350" which (in theory) should resize the plasmoid perfectly. Im thinking this may be a bug in plasma? Anyway i will continue to work to resolve this or at least workaround the issue. As for the left edge, i see what you mean now lol. I will try to fix this in the next few days.

Thanks again!

Do you have kde-workspace installed as you need webkit to use jstetrisNoPY ;)

If beslimed now works, then the original (python) jstetris should now work as the method beslimed uses is exactly the same as jstetris.

I get:
Installing the package /home/panzi/Desktop/106986-jstetris.plasmoid failed.

And no further information why it failed. Also I had to change the file filter in the install dialoge because it didn't display the plasmoid in the first place (even though the filter did read "plasmoid" and thats the extension of the file).

KDE look renames the file so you have to rename it (as said above) to "jstetris.plasmoid" ;)

It *does* have a .plasmoid ending but it won't install.

Oh and it's not the ".plasmoid" part that needs renaming...it is the first part "jstetris.plasmoid" without all the numbers at the beginning.

This might be a long shot, but I installed from Plasma's "Add widget" dialog.

At the bottom choose "install from local file". When the file chooser appears, find the *.plasmoid and click it just once. It will appear that nothing happens, but close the file chooser and wait a few seconds, and it should show up in the list of widgets.

Not very intuitive, but it typically has worked for me with plasmoids that plasmapkg has problems with. Don't ask me why lol.

Your mileage may vary. =) Good luck!

I tried it in all thinkable ways. However, I just noticed it IS installed despite the error message!
