RCWeb Tetris Control App

The RCWeb Tetris Control App (app/tetris-control) is the dedicated smart-gamepad designed specifically for the Tetris application. Operating within the Asymmetric Pattern, it provides tactile button inputs mapped directly to game events.

What it does

• Dedicated Controls: Offers a simple, thumb-optimized layout specifically for directional movement, rotation, and hard-dropping blocks.
• Dynamic Theming: The interface changes color visually (turning neon Red or Blue) instantly when the main game assigns the connection a player slot.
• Haptic Feedback: Triggers short physical vibration pulses (navigator.vibrate(20)) upon every button press to provide physical confirmation of an action without requiring the player to look down.

How it works

The internal script.js focuses on latency-free event binding.

• Passive Polling: Rather than the host querying clients, the controller enters a safe loop natively (setInterval(..., 1000)) passively checking rc.send("tetris.join(" + player + ");", "tetris") until the main screen explicitly accepts the payload and replies with a theme adjustment.
• Event Binding: Binds to both touchstart and mousedown simultaneously to ensure zero-latency tap recognition across both iOS and Android WebView environments.
• Keyboard Fallback: The controller transparently catches desktop keyboard events (window.addEventListener("keydown")), allowing a user to open the URL on a laptop and play using arrow keys if they lack a mobile device.
