Tetris on a 3D plane?

Yes, while there are Tetris clones available, I would LOVE to see one of them implement the idea of Tetris on a 3D cylindrical plane.

It would look similar to the picture below, except instead of using the Tetris Attack format, it would encompass Tetris's original gameplay.

There was Tetrisphere on the n64

This should be relatively simple to implement.

Model:
- Take your normal 2D Tetris (we could "borrow" one of the existing clones).
- Modify the game logic such that the left and right borders allow wrapping.
- Instead of allowing the falling piece to move left and right, we allow the whole screen to shift left and right (think of this as the cylinder rotating left and right -- the piece will fall along the center axis of the cylinder).

View:
- Add fancy 3D graphics (construct pieces from cubes -- doesn't get any easier than that).
- Project the cubes into a cylinder.

I'm interested in working on this project collaboratively.

While I don't know enough programming to do all of that, it would be nice to see this implemented, would it not?

The only reason I've thought of this, actually, is that Tetris has been the same for quite some time (20 years?). While there have been games that implement Tetris in 3D all over the internet, they don't have the same concept that I'm thinking of for 3D. You have the right idea, calvin.

It's nice to see that someone has taken interest into this.

Hey there Sonicdude41. Dunno if you're still following this thread, but here's a pre-alpha prototype:

Btw, does the Sonic in your name stand for Sonic the Hedgehog? I sure hope so, 'cause that guy's awesome.

Hi calvinss4,

I thought I'd make an icon for your app, because the one you have is slightly lacking in quality. :P
Here it is. :)

Sorry, I couldn't get it to scale to the correct size. :/

Now that was a gentle euphemism :)

Thanks for the sexy icon!

Btw, you must be the very first person to download this. Thanks for trying it out.

I like that it looks nice I'm getting it.

Yes, I'm still following the thread. You have no idea how happy you have just made me. =D

Also, yes, that's what the Sonic in my user name stands for. I agree that he is a cool guy.
