Technology
The main tech we used was the 3D game engine Unity, together with Wii-motes. The main motivation of Wii-motes was the combination of wireless, suitable for the task and a well known controller that a lot of people recognize. We integrated Wii-motes into Unity by using GlovePIE which is a program which can read bluetooth communication, this was then integrated into unity. Unfortunately this had the side effect of making our Wii-mote inputs available on Windows only.
Tetris is a classic game associated with simple block graphics on old computer screens. We are indeed using a state of art 3D game engine, but we decided to use minimalist graphics together with shaders in order to emulate an old-school retro feel.
