As I mentioned in the previous post (which I accidentally published prematurely), I've been speaking on JavaFX Script at Sun Tech Days in Sydney, Australia. This was a great experience, as it was a well-run, informative conference. Of course, Sydney is a beautiful city, filled with wonderful people.
Also, that post referenced the first two articles in this Tetris series, so please take a look at these articles to get up to speed on where we're at:
1) Let's Create a Tetris Game in Compiled JavaFX Script
2) Creating a Tetris Program (Part Two) in Compiled JavaFX Script
During the conference, I've made some progress on the Tetris application, and used it in one of my presentations. Please refer to the screenshot shown above.
This version of the Tetris application is not 100% functional, nor is it bug-free, but it did suffice for teaching JavaFX Script concepts in the presentation. One of my next posts will be a more fully functioning Tetris game (e.g. a layer of blocks will disappear when filled). That post will show this game as a JavaFX Script applet, running inside a browser. Take a look at the source code below, and you'll notice that I've changed quite a few things from the last version. For example, the TetrisPlayingField custom component is bound to the model of all of squares in the playing field.

You may have noticed that factored out the TetrisShape.fx class by the way. There are many improvements to be made, but we'll get there together! As always, please let me know if you have questions.
