Tetris (iOS)

Tetris
Developer: EA Mobile Publisher: Electronic Arts Platform: iOS Released internationally: July 10, 2008 This game has uncompiled source code. This game has hidden development-related text.

This game is defunct. Do note the game no longer works at all without modifications. This is most likely due to the game's servers being shut down. As a result, further official developments with the game are unlikely to happen.

It's the classic Tetris on your phone! What more could you need? How about a Season Pass? Some DLC? How about exclusive content locked behind a Club Tetris membership?

Wait, what do you mean that's not what you wanted?

EA's Tetris was snapped away from the App Store on April 21, 2020, as the rights for mobile versions of Tetris had been transferred to N3TWORK, who's version somehow has even MORE monetization features.

; OS key code to Blast virtual keys.
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Maps OS key codes to Blast virtual keys for extra keys not normalized by the OS.
; Some devices provides extra-keys that do not map to any OS virtual key code. For
; example, J2ME only defines few numpad virtual keys. Some J2ME devices has full
; QWERTY keyboards and the letters do not have any OS virtual key mapping. In
; such case, Blast has to provide the correct mapping.
;
; Multiple key codes can map to the same VK. For example if the device sends
; differents key code if the modifier keys are pressed or if the keycode sent
; for the pressed state is different than the keycode sent for the release state.
;
; Format must be: keyCodeValue = virtualKeyName
;
; [devices: HTC544]
; 8234 = kLetterA ; Key code sent when key 'A' is pressed.
; 4328 = kLetterA ; Key code sent when key 'A, is released.
; 3242 = kLetterA ; Key code sent when keys 'Shift' and 'A' are pressed.

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Blast virtual keys meta data for text edition and game help text.
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; It is possible to embeds meta data associated with a virtual key. The meta
; data is used for text edition if the OS does not provide proper support. The
; following fields are recongnized.
;
; char:   The list of character associated with the key.
; shift:  The list of character associated with the key when the shift key is pressed.
; alt:    The list of character associated with the key when the alt key is pressed.
; ctrl:   The list of character associated with the key when the ctrl key is pressed.
; fn;     The list of character associated with the key when the fn key is pressed.
;
; If a value is not defined, the field can be empty, tail values can be ommited. In the
; list, if the key represents a number, it must be first, then letters and finally
; symbols.
;
; Encode any non-ASCII characters using the 16-bits char C++ notation. (\x3AF2)
;
; Format must be: virtualKeyName = char,shift,alt,ctrl,fn
