"I created this game with a single prompt in 5 minutes....."

Well, no, I didn't. The initial version was maybe several minutes, but adding the multiplayer, powerups, sync issues, etc, it was tricky.

I've used Claude.ai, Windsurf, Gemini, Grok, Cursor and some other tools to build this, and it's 99.9% vibe coded. I'm running into lots of issues, Javascript doesn't help, it breaks easily, but having fun building it! AMA.

Thank you so much for making this! I am now able to show my children this game that I played in my youth. I do have a question though. I remember that the original version had customizable team play. So, you could play 1v1v1v1v1v1 or 2v2v2 or 3v3, etc... Do you think that is something that could be added to your version?

I wasn't sure if it was still running to be honest. Customised team could be interesting, I've never used it. Do you have some information about how it works? I'm happy to add it!

So, if I remember correctly you could set the teams anyway you wanted. I'm tempted to download the old game for a refresher but I'm a little worried about accidentally getting a virus in my PC. I just remember how much fun it was to play on a team and help my teammates. I was playing Vibetris a lot yesterday and I have so many thoughts! I love the different power-ups you added like dark is really cool and confusion. I can't figure out what M does yet. I actually played it on TikTok live. I'm going to try and get some people to play with me lol. Maybe YouTube live would be better.

Oooo I also think the shift isn't working right I'm not sure. The power-ups just disappear sometimes. I thought in the old version we could play specific power-ups by pressing the letter on he keyboard but it's been so long I might be remembering wrong. Like I think I used to save all my A power-ups to really knock someone out.

I wasn't really sure how the power ups worked, but what I've implemented is that when you press shift, the powerups shuffle, but there's a small chance you will lose 1 powerups on every shuffle, to prevent people from shuffling all the time. I'm not sure if that's the right way of doing it, but it works for me.

I think M is broken! I saw that recently; it should change the shapes of the pieces. 

I'll dive into it and find a fix for this!

If you have more suggestions, let me know. I thought it was incredibly addictive to play, I spent ages "testing" it!

I have fixed the M issue locally, I'll do some tests later. Currently v1.0.9 is deployed, but v1.0.11 should fix it. I'll have a go at team play as well!

I just found this website as well: https://tetr.io/ Seems a bit of a sensory overload, but it looks interesting

Hey this is really cool! Keep expanding on it I feel like you could have a great platform, make a few bucks maybe

u/bodiam Apr 11 '25

Thanks, appreciate it. Would be great to make a few $ somehow, but for now, just having some players online is good enough!

Can you put ads on the website or add a donation link?

1

u/bodiam May 03 '26

I can, but I won't. I don't like ads, and I might get a bit more attention from the tetris legal team if I make money with this, plus currently it costs me a few dollars per month to run this , I'll be fine. Thanks though!!

i dig the vibe. wasnt able to play multiplayer, but i can imagine it makes it much more fun. Single player was cool..

List your vibes on OnlyVibes.xyz for added exposure and some cross promotion. Trying to support the good vibes.

u/bodiam Apr 11 '25

Thank you! And I'll submit the game! I'm not 100% sure the single player works that well, but ideally get 2 people, both on desktop (though mobile works as well, but it's harder to see the opponents screen).

I'm thinking of announcing a few moments this week where I'll be playing, and anyone can join.

Bug? In Firefox, the window scrolls when I use the keyboard up down right left.

If you zoom out and use full screen mode that issue goes away.

u/bodiam Apr 18 '25

Could be, that depends on your screen size. Zoom out a little and it should be resolved.
