Title: A different take on Tetris
Post by: Titchgamer on December 26, 2016, 04:02:51 pm: I know that lol

What I meant was that I had only ever played with a joystick & 2 buttons

Plus why have them so spread out?

Holding a button could be mapped to instantly dropping your brick. Not a big deal.

Nope, that's that other site. This site is dedicated to building aircraft carrier frankenpanels with angled joysticks and yelling at people who angle joysticks, build frankenpanels, and make their panels unnecessarily large.
