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 !!!

OpenAI described how it scaled PostgreSQL to support ChatGPT and its API platform, handling millions of queries per second for hundreds of millions of users. By running a single-primary PostgreSQL deployment on Azure with nearly 50 read replicas, optimizing query patterns, and offloading write-heavy workloads to sharded systems, OpenAI maintained low-latency reads while managing write pressure.

WhatsApp has rewritten its media handling library in Rust, replacing 160,000 lines of C++ with 90,000 lines of memory-safe code for 3 billion devices. The rollout, part of a system called Kaleidoscope, uses differential fuzzing to ensure bug-for-bug compatibility. The move mirrors a decade-long industry shift toward memory safety, tracing back to Mozilla's first Rust MP4 parser deployment in 2016.
