Welcome to part 2 in this building Tetris tutorial. If you missed part 1, feel free to check it out here. In this second part, we'll be finishing up the project by adding collision detection to each Tetris shape, generating new blocks, rotations and detecting when rows have been filled and collapsed.

In this post I will cover how to create a rain effect using the JavaScript game engine, Crafty.js, for a 2D side-scroller type of game. If you're new to Crafty, then feel free to check out my previous posts in which I cover the framework from a beginner's perspective.

On this rainy day in Los Angeles, stay home, drink too much coffee and enjoy a classic game from our teen years (maybe). I coded this snake game clone some time ago, and still find myself coming back to it from time to time. It isn't finalized just yet, but it is for sure challenging and it is playable.

File Uploads have yet to really catch up with the times and with technology. Many reasons for this. Security being a major one. It's an open door between the outside world and a server.
