Online DOS BlockOut with SQL scoreboard

Post by jlivingstonsg »

---

Hi.

I found some years ago a game that we played 1989-1990 called BlockOut that is a 3D Tetris.
And I can now play the original game in a DOS emulator in a browser.
Just Google: blockout online
and you can try some in your browser.
But I could only save my score in browser cookies and that bothered me.
Then I found a game that could save score on a server scoreboard webpage called BlockOut2.
But I had to download it and install it.
Then some years later I found a version on GitHub for a browser in open source that worked quite well.
Just Google: cubeout blockout
and you can find it.
And the code is here.
github dot com/Ringdingcoder/CubeOut

But I can still not upload score on a server scoreboard so I decided to try my self.

blockout dot nu

It save score both in browser and on a SQL server webpage now. :)

I want to make it look and work exactly like the original so if you want to help me,
then I have some code here, on my version on GitHub.
github dot com/jlivingstonsg/BlockOut

Any bugs or suggestions?

MagI.

Number 30 in BlockOut2 on level "Out of control"

Challenge.

The first who can beat my record in the 3D Tetris game called BlockOut2, on level "Out of control" , will get 100 USD.

You can try it here in you browser and with swipe control on your phone.
https://blockout.nu

You play it like this on
PC

Phone browser

In BlockOut2 you upload your score with same name as you have here five times,
to get the average score in to the scoreboard.
