Personally, I prefer the side view. Yes, if you build too much in the front of your stack, you can get into trouble with the view. But, I feel that it's part of the challenge.

Thanks for providing the details that you think it has to do with the rotate view function. I'll look into that.

However, I think there is a bug. I occasionally have trouble getting the blocks to rotate. The keys presses don't elicit a response from the game. Seems to occur right after I rotate the view.

Interestingly, another 3D variant of Tetris that has been around for about 20 years is called "BlockOut," back in the days of DOS. An updated version called "BlockOut II" is available at http://www.blockout.net/blockout2/ You might want to check it out. Jeff,
