I wasn''t going to announce this here.. Mostly because it really is just a tetris-clone I made while learning DirectDraw... :p
However a few people have told me that all they see is a black screen and the they get throwned back to the desktop, and a couple told me it works fine for them... So I was wondering if you guys can check it out and tell me how well it worked and what computer and stuff did you use...
Here''s a screenshot:

I ran it once, and it worked fine, but I did not know the keys, so I exited and looked at the readme. When I tried it again it would give a black screen, start to draw, and then it exited immediatley. Now it doesn''t run anymore. Weird.
It did the same thing to me. I tried to restart it a few times and found it would only work every 3rd or 4th time. The rest of the time it would just show a black screen for a second and then kick me back to the desktop.

Thanks alot for testing, I appreciate it.
I think i''ve got it, I did release everything, heh, that''s the first thing i''ve looked... What I didn''t do is not restoring all surfaces. Other then that I fixed an inner bug releated to the speed increase.
I''m not sure if it''s fine now... but if you care to re-check it... I''d be happy.

did you upload your new version to the same url? If yo did you still have a problem
I had the same problem, but I could run it after it had chrashed, and it didnt seem to have any pattern when it exited. It could exit at startup, or when you display a yellow brick, or purple etc.

Try putting error checks around every DirectDraw call you make. Spit out information to a text file if you have to, which really helps sometimes. Something like:
HRESULT rval = lpDirectXInterface->DirectXCall();
if (rval != S_OK)
// Do some debug stuff
endif
Good luck!

[ 0 1 0 0 ]
[ 0 0 1 0 ]
[ 0 0 0 1 ]
HRESULT rval = lpDirectXInterface->DirectXCall();
if (rval != S_OK)
// Do some debug stuff
endif
Good luck!

You know what the strange thing is??
It works perfectly on my computer.
I think it''s actually a DirectX problem... In fact, someone had told me that it didn''t work for him, but then he said that he installed the DirectX 7.0a patch and it works fine..
