Taking the I shape example figures, figures 3 and 4 wouldn't exist. They would only cycle through 1 and 2. Despite that, very nice and neat tut. Thanks.

I managed to build it but when I tried to run it I got the following error message: Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Error (1002) creating CGSWindow' Greetings,

In a nested loop where the array is 5 wide by 5 wide: No rotation: newarray[j][i] = oldarray[j][i] 1 step counterclockwise: newarray[4 - i][j] = oldarray[j][i] 2 step counterclockwise: newarray[4 - j][4 - i] = oldarray[j][i] 3 step counterclockwise: newarray[i][4-j] = oldarray[j][i] You know, you can very easily, without complex code, rotate the tetris pieces and cut down on your piece array.

In a nested loop where the array is 5 wide by 5 wide:

No rotation: newarray[j][i] = oldarray[j][i]
1 step counterclockwise: newarray[4 - i][j] = oldarray[j][i]
2 step counterclockwise: newarray[4 - j][4 - i] = oldarray[j][i]
3 step counterclockwise: newarray[i][4-j] = oldarray[j][i]

Though I'm wondering, in Board::StorePiece() you make a call to mPieces->GetBlockType(pPiece, pRotation, j2, i2) .. should this be: mPieces->GetBlockType(pPiece, pRotation, i2, j2) .. for clearity sake?

I've tried changing the #define's to const int's, and I've even completely commented out the #define's... and the compiler still doesn't mind. How does this happen??

How does this happen??

However, I am having trouble understanding the StorePiece method in the Board class. I just can't seem to follow it. Could you explain in more detail what this is doing? Also, why are you adding the PIECE_BLOCKS constant to pX and pY? Thanks Hey - thanks alot for this tutorial - it’s very enlightening.
