Hi everybody, I''m new to game programming and DirectX so I decided to go the safe way by starting from the simple stuff.... and that''s doing a tetris-type game in vc++ and GDI, then I convert from GDI to DD7 and then to DX9... Ok, so my question is really basic. How should I define my blocks? As arrays of 4x4 or what?? Thanks, Ivan

yes, one solution is to define a block (with coordinate, color...) as struct or class, and then define a piece as an arry of 4 blocks.

you can define the rotations likewise, and precompute them. So you''d have an array of 7x4 pieces, so 7x4x(4x4) unit blocks.
