Double Cross

2 years ago this was my very first Pygame program (and my first big Python project in general). Recently looking back at the code I was even more disgusted than I had anticipated. This is a complete recode of the game.

Unlike your common unilateral falling block games, 'Double Cross' implements a bidirectional paradigm expanding the genre in both dimension and difficulty.

Overview:

Blocks fall from the top and fly in from the side settling in a joined "play area".  Deletions occur when rows of ten blocks are completed. A horizontal row of 10 will cause the blocks to fall down, and a vertical row of 10 will cause the blocks to "fall" to the right.  If a vertical row is completed during a vertical drop or a horizontal row is completed during a horizontal drop the corresponding deletion will not occur until the next turn.  This can and will lead to non-intuitive results.  Focus on the vertical alone and you will die from horizontal negligence and vice versa.

Controls:

• P: Pause (music can be changed while paused)
• Esc: Quit prompt
• Arrow keys: Basic play (customizable in game)

Running:

Both full source, as well as windows executables are available (with and without the music files). The main files are called double-cross.pyw and double-cross.exe respectively.
