TetrisAnalyzer (C++)

TetrisAnalyzer

The C++ version of TetrisAnalyzer now uses GLFW, an actively maintained, MIT-licensed alternative to GLUT that provides native windowing and input on every platform.

Note that this version is not as performance-optimized as the Scala implementation and is actually slower. With proper optimization, it should be at least twice as fast as the Scala version.

For max speed:

  • Next: off
  • Level: 1
  • Sliding: off
  • Step: off
  • Animate: off
  • Delay: 0

Building on macOS (and other modern toolchains)

  1. Install dependencies (Homebrew example): 
    brew install cmake glfw
  2. Configure and build with CMake: 
    cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build
  3. Launch the analyzer: 
    ./build/TetrisAnalyzer

GLFW is native on macOS (Cocoa), so no XQuartz or additional setup is required. On Linux, install the equivalent packages (cmake, libglfw3-dev, etc.) and run the same commands. On Windows you can also use the CMake workflow by pointing to the GLFW binaries and linking against opengl32, glu32, and glfw3.

Building with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0

  1. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.
  2. Download the GLFW prebuilt binaries for Windows and copy:
    • glfw3.h (the whole GLFW include folder) → C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include
    • glfw3.lib → C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib
    • glfw3.dll somewhere on your PATH (for example C:\Windows\System32) or next to the executable.
  3. Open legacy/TetrisApp.dsw in Visual C++.
  4. Configure Precompiled Headers via Project → Settings:
    • StdAfx.cpp: Create precompiled header, through header stdafx.h.
    • TetrisApp.cpp: Use the precompiled header file (.pch).
  5. Link against opengl32.lib, glu32.lib, and glfw3.lib, then build and run.
