Stacker

Stacker is an arcade game where the goal is to build a stack of blocks as high as possible.

Stacker game

At each level, a row of blocks moves sideways and the user has to lock the blocks in place (using the SPACE key) and timing it so that it aligns with the previous level. Blocks that don't align are lost and if no blocks aligned at all, the player loses.

As the levels increase, the blocks move faster making timing even more critical.

This program was written in the Jack language for project 9 in the nand2tetris course.

Install

Download the software suite from nand2tetris. The compiler and emulator are required as Jack programs run on the Hack hardware platform.
