VRtris is a tetris game in VR. Put on your HMD, grab a cool drink (ideally with some kind of straw), and enjoy retro puzzle gaming at its finest!
Alternatively you can build this as a regular OpenGL tetris game (gltris), by choosing to disable VR at compile-time.
To run vrtris in VR, either create a configuration file called vrtris.conf
with the line vr = true, or run it with the command line argument -vr.
While it's possible to play with the left analog stick of the oculus touch, it's much more playable with digital inputs (d-pad on a gamepad, or keyboard).
Keyboard:
- arrow keys or A/D/S: move left/right/down
- up arrow, 'W', or space: rotate piece
- enter or tab: drop
- 'P': pause and restart after game over
- Home: re-center in VR mode
- F1: controls help screen
Gamepad:
- D-pad or left analog stick: move left/right/down
- D-pad up: drop
- A B: rotate piece
- start or X: pause and restart after game over
- select: re-center in VR mode
- Y: controls help screen
Oculus Touch (or other vendor equivalent):
- left stick: move left/right/down
- left stick up, and trigger buttons: drop
- A B: rotate piece
- X: pause and restart after game over
- Y: controls help screen
When not running in VR mode, vrtris starts in a window by default. To take it
fullscreen hit Alt+F11. Alternatively you can put fullscreen = true in the
vrtris.conf file, or start it with the command line argument -f.
ESC or Q exits the game.
This game is still under development. The basic gameplay works, but it's not done yet.

VRtris depends on a number of libraries. Recursive dependencies are shown indented, and optional dependencies are marked with (opt).
- OpenGL (any reasonably current implementation should do)
- GLEW: http://glew.sourceforge.net
- SDL2: http://www.libsdl.org
- libgoatvr (opt): http://github.com/jtsiomb/libgoatvr
- gph-math: http://github.com/jtsiomb/gph-math
- Oculus SDK (opt): See below.
- Steam OpenVR (opt): https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr
Note about the Oculus SDK optional dependency of libgoatvr:
Libgoatvr transparently supports both the current Oculus SDK (1.x) which sadly is MS-Windows only, and the old Oculus SDK 0.5.0.1, which was the last release for GNU/Linux systems. Unfortunately the old SDK only supports the Oculus Rift DK1 and DK2, not the later consumer version. So those are the only Oculus HMDs that work on GNU/Linux.
- Oculus SDK 1.x: http://developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-sdk-for-windows
- Oculus SDK 0.5.0.1: http://developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-sdk-for-linux
After building and installing all dependencies, just run make.
If you wish to build without VR support (which removes the dependency to
libgoatvr and all it's subdeps), change the vrbuild variable at the top of the
Makefile to false, before building.
To build on windows you need the MinGW port of GCC. Microsoft compilers are not supported. Simply install msys2, grab the source, build and install all dependencies, then type make.
To cross-compile for windows from UNIX, make sure you have the i686-w64-mingw32-
toolchain installed (debian package mingw-w64) and run make cross.
