Overview

LostMasterPiece2 is a modern take on the classic block-falling puzzle game, featuring:

• 3D rendered game pieces with realistic lighting and textures
• Dynamic shader backgrounds that change with user interaction
• Cross-platform support (Desktop, Web via Emscripten, Android)
• Touch and keyboard controls for versatile gameplay

Game Concept

Core Gameplay

The game follows traditional Tetris mechanics with a 3D twist:

• Colored blocks fall from the top of a 3D grid
• Players must arrange falling pieces to create complete rows
• Completed rows are cleared, earning points
• Game speed increases with level progression
• Game ends when blocks reach the top

3D Features

• Rotatable camera: Use WASD keys to rotate the view around the game grid
• Zoom control: Use +/- keys to zoom in and out
• 3D block rendering: All game pieces are rendered as textured 3D cubes with lighting

Shader System

One of the unique features of LostMasterPiece2 is its dynamic shader background system:

How It Works

• The game loads fragment shaders from the data/gfx/ directory
• Shaders are listed in data/gfx/index.txt (one filename per line)
• Every keypress or touch interaction randomly selects a new shader for the background
• Over 300+ different visual effects are included

Shader Effects Include

• Kaleidoscopic patterns
• Rainbow spirals and gradients
• Geometric distortions
• Glitch effects
• Plasma and wave animations
• Mirror and crystal effects
• Psychedelic color transforms

Adding Custom Shaders

1. Place your .glsl fragment shader file in data/gfx/
2. Add the filename to data/gfx/index.txt
3. Shaders must be compatible with the uniform inputs:
   • sampler2D textTexture - background texture
   • float time_f - elapsed time in seconds
   • vec2 iResolution - screen resolution
   • float alpha - fade alpha value

Controls

Keyboard

• Arrow Keys: Move piece left/right/down
• Up Arrow: Shift piece colors
• Space: Rotate piece direction
• Enter: Drop piece instantly
• WASD: Rotate 3D camera view
• +/-: Zoom in/out
• Z/X: Rotate around Z-axis

Touch/Mouse

• Tap/Click: Randomly change background shader
• Swipe Up: Shift piece colors
• Swipe Down: Change piece direction
• Swipe Left/Right: Move piece horizontally
• Double-tap: Drop piece instantly
• Two-finger touch: Drop piece instantly
