Day 204 - the game is playable (kind of)! You can now place blocks, and when you fill a column or row, the line clears. I
Next I want to add something that checks if the next block can be placed and if not, ends the round. Also will need to add score.

Day 201 - did some neat maths to assign columns and rows to the grid. I had to look up the modulo part to ensure my idea was right and it made me feel like a wizard when it worked! These two functions are called inside the for loop that constructs the grid

DAY 200!!!
To celebrate I made a little test scene to show off the new blocks. Made up of 'cubes' these not only look better, but also will support line clearing leaving block fragments. Really happy with how they turned out.

Day 199 - made some more blocks, and it's working nicely. I'm not quite sure what the win condition is. I do want a tetris style erasing when a full line is completed but I'm not sure how to manage the block fragments from something like that.

Day 198 - I started making a dictionary to store the block info so I don't have to manually make each block its own scene; I can just instantiate a template block and set the variables. So here block id 1 is a vertical two block with the texture line2.svg.

Day 197 - It needed a little more finagling and debugging than I expected but the blocks can no longer be placed on top of each other. Next I need to test larger/more complex blocks then it's onto the win/lose conditions!

Day 196 - finished the edge detection piece so now you can't drop blocks along the top or side edges. Next I need to actually add in the checker for dropping the blocks so you can't drop onto a slot that already has a block in it.

Day 195 - I redid the slot detection to be on the block itself. now the block will only activate the slots directly under it. I also added in snapping and some basic sound effects but I forgot to turn on sound in the recording, so you'll have to wait lol

Day 194 - pretty colors. each slot can now tell if it is under a block. I think it would be better to have the block tell the slot if it is under, since as you can see in the clip you can have multiple slots under the block.

I replaced the TileSet and manually set the tiles but no dice.

There's still much to improve but this is already more resilient than before.
