What have you tried so far?

um... everything i tried using what dot colour but it doesn't seem to work. My main problem is how the blocks will stack on top of each other and how the blocks fall down again after a row is cleared

There are a number of collision detection tutorials on this site that you may want to take a look at. The Turing Walkthrough may be helpful.

I suggest you start small- try to make two squares stack on top of each other before worrying about complex Tetris shapes.

im currently using what dot colour to do the program but im not sure how to detect the bottom of the block

currently i have been able to move the blocks around but my problem is after the blocks move the previous one isnt deleted, is there a way i can fix that?

It's hard to tell you what the problem is without seeing your code.

this is my current code so far, ill private messgae you the images that you need in order to run it

First of all, you're using processes, which is just plain bad news, as explained here.

You need to replace all your processes with procedures. This might take some work, but it should fix a bunch of bugs automatically (even bugs you haven't discovered yet). I wouldn't even bother though, because you're probably going to end up re-writing almost the whole thing. It's easier than trying to save this.

You're making this much more complicated than it needs to be. Tetris is a simple game. It plays on a grid (10x50 or something, no?). The pieces are always lined up with the grid. Collisions are always between the cell on top hitting the cell on the bottom. You can only move left or right one cell at a time.

But you're writing this as if the screen was the game board. So instead of moving left or right by 1, now we're moving by 30, or 60. Now instead of checking 'x-1' for collisions, we're checking x-30. Instead of 'is cell (x, y) occupied' you're asking 'is location (x-30, y-30) the right color'. This is so much more complicated!

Turing (and most other programming languages) have a convenient way to represent grids- arrays!

var grid : array (0..9, 0..49) of boolean

Here we've created a 10x50 array to represent our game board. It's of boolean, which means every cell can be either 1 or 0. I've decided that a 0 means that cell is empty, and a 1 means that cell is full. Use a couple of loops to set every cell to 0, so the whole board is empty:

for x : 0..9
for y : 0..49
grid (x, y) := 0
end for
end for

Making something fall down is easy:

var x := 5
var y := 50

loop
y -= 1
delay (500)
if y = 0 then
grid (x, y) := 1 %this spot is now full.
exit
end loop
end loop

checking for collisions is easy too!

var x := 5
var y := 50

loop
if grid (x, y-1) = 0 then %check if square below is empty
y -= 1 %This is the same as y := y - 1
else
grid (x, y) := 1
exit
end if
delay (500)
end loop

Look at how simple that code is! It's easy to read, it's easy to write! But we still have to draw everything! Fortunately, that's easy too!

procedure drawEverything

for x: 0..9
for y : 0..49
if grid (x, y) = 1 then
Draw.FillBox (x*10, y*10, x*10+10, y*10+10, red)
end if
end for
end for

end drawEverything


We've scaled everything up here by 10 to draw it. Notice how we didn't have to touch any of our logic code? All we did was check if there was a 1 or zero in our grid, and draw a red box there. This means the game can look however you want. It can be flashy, plain, it can use pictures or Draw commands or even just plain text. It doesn't matter. All you need to change is the drawEverything procedure and as long as you don't touch the actual logic code, the game will still work.

Obviously I've only given you code snippets here and you'll need to fill in the rest, but hopefully you see how simple this can be. It will save you so much time to just start over. You'll only get frustrated trying to make your current code work.

And finally, don't be discouraged. You had to screw it up this bad to learn why doing it this way is bad. If you look far enough back in my post history here (I was in grade 10 once too), you'll see me doing exactly the same thing.

I think you will. If you don't understand my post, re-read through it until you do. The biggest take-away is separating your game logic from what's drawn on the screen. Doing that will simplify your code so much.
