Tue, 20 May 2008, 17:23
Jayenkai	Workshop Monthly #009 : Blocks Time until Deadline Month : 21 May 2008 to 18 June 2008 The Reason : Another nice simple idea The Challenge : Make a good old falling blocks game! And, feel free to use things other than plain blocks! Standard Rules The rules are pretty much the same as a standard workshop, except you have a bit longer! This workshop closes on June 18th, 00:00 GMT. (That's so that we can start a fresh one on a Wednesday!) Entries should be posted as Showcases, then noted in the forum below. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Orion Pax	Sweet! I think I am going to take the month off from my game and work on a workshop. My first one. Gonna be a real challenge JUST to try and not do a tetris clone. So when you say "OTHER THAN PLAIN BLOCKS", your talking about???

Orion Pax	Ok I am having an issue here. Cant seem to think of something or get something working. This is harder than I thought. Especially in 2d. Could I do it in 3d with nothing but sprites? I can handle sprites...lol
