Hi to all;
I try to program " tetris game "
First i did the point about :
Cube Block falling to the floor and another one appear then falling also but my problem is whe cube block fall and there is another one the floor the falling mix with the one on the floor !!!
Although i make a conditon that prevent mixing.
from here http://www.mediafire.com/?khg2p2mlpxpixz6 you can download my code .
There is there package in package TetrisView There is class TetrisCell which have the problem in method moveBlockVerticle()();
you will fin dthis code in it for prevent mixing bloks :
if (tetrisBlockShapesEnum == tetrisBlockShapesEnum.CUBE_BLOCK && nextRow - 2 == blockData.getPoint().getX()
|| tetrisBlockShapesEnum == tetrisBlockShapesEnum.I_BOLCK && nextRow - 4 == blockData.getPoint().getX()) {
canDraw = false;
} else {
canDraw = true;
}
but also the cude block mix !!!!
why this !!!

How can you focus in a sea of results from a large regression test suite? This article describes a stochastic approach that relies on some degree of redundancy in your CI regression test set. This approach does not guarantee you will catch every bug every time, but it gives you your best bet of not missing the subtle signatures of all the bugs uncovered by your CI regression test suite runs.

A 600-run benchmark by Ruby committer Yusuke Endoh tested Claude Code across 13 languages, implementing a simplified Git. Ruby, Python, and JavaScript were the fastest and cheapest, at $0.36- $0.39 per run. Statistically typed languages cost 1.4-2.6x more. Adding type checkers to dynamic languages imposed 1.6-3.2x slowdowns. Full dataset available on GitHub.
