Simulate two connected links such that whenever the first link (head) moves, the tail moves to follow according to the following rules:
- If the tail is at the same location as head, don’t move
- If the tail is adjacent to the head (orthogonal or diagonal), don’t move
- If the tail is in the same row/column as the head, move one directly towards it orthogonally
- If the tail is in neither the same row nor column, move one towards diagonally
Count how many unique spaces are visited by the tail of the link.

LD46: Tetris Life v1.0
Controls:
- Left and right to move the block and forth
- Z and X to rotate it (or crash into things)
- If a block gets stuck, you can hit ENTER to lock it in place
- ESC to quit the current level
Goals:
- To win: Get the plants to the top of the level
- To lose: Kill off all of the plants #keepitalive
EDIT: I have included a v1.1 update that fixes a few minor bugs. Feel free to play either the official v1.0 build or the slightly updated (~10 minutes) v1.1 build with:
- Add a ceiling
- Correctly scale target
- Scale control speed by difficulty
And there you have it. This page will serve as the main entry for Ludum Dare. If you’d rather download an executable for Windows/OSX/Linux, you can do so on the GitHub release page:
Speaking of which, per the Ludum Dare rules (and because I would have anyways), the full source code:
MIT Licensed. I would appreciate a comment if you do anything cool with it.
Ludum Dare page, if you’d like to see my entry:
Some updates since last time:
- Music!

LD46: I made a GAME!
I made a game y’all!
Big changes:
- It’s got a menu!
- And a demo mode!
- PLANTS GROW BY THEMSELVES!
- And win/lose screens!
LD46: Score, Scaling, and BURNING! Oh my.
Got some sleep and BACK AT IT!
Big changes:
- We have scores now!
- And proper scaling (which also fixes the performance issue, at least on my machine, turns out 1/16 as many updates helps)
- Proper resetting
LD46: IT'S WORKING!
IT’S WORKING!
The performance is terrible (sub 10 FPS on a pretty decent desktop and I want to try to run it in a browser…), but it’s working.
LD46: Squishy squishy
It’s so squish!
That is not at all what I intended, but I kind of love it, so for the moment, it stays in.
To get this far, I had a heck of a time trying to figure out Godot’s physics engine, but I’m learning quickly!
