The Korean MSX developer Sharksym has released a demonstration game of his recently announced Graphic Library for Hitech-C. Although the library itself has not been made available yet, at least you can enjoy a nice little variation on Tetris.

A very nice version of Tetris indeed! Well done! I especially like the smoothness of the movements of the blocks. I don't think I've see that before on MSX.

If you happen to use SDCC for MSX development you might find this little lib useful, too:
http://www.kameli.net/~marq/kode/msxlib28082010.zip
The newest version of the lib used in Atsaas and Adnukes, containing stuff such as screen mode setting, different highly optimized VDP copy routines, sprite control, mouse/keyboard/joystick handling, memory copy/clear and file reading.

Is there a way to run it without using DOS2?

John: you could always run it on an emulator Smile

Manuel: I'm scouring the openMSX manual, but is there an easy way to do that? I'm sorry, but I can't work it out. It must be a case of PEBKAC. Smile

I used the IDE extension, booted from my installed virtual IDE disk and then ran it from the floppy drive.

With openMSX (and emulation in general), you just have to think: how would I do this on a real machine?
And then you do the same on the emulated machine.

What about plugging an MSX-DOS2 cartridge? Or using a turboR, with built in MSX-DOS2?
