RCWeb Tetris Pro Control App

The RCWeb Tetris Pro Control App (app/tetris-pro-control) is the dedicated smartphone remote for the shared-screen Tetris Pro wall. It is designed for fast taps, repeated movement presses, and smooth game-over recovery without needing to walk back to the main display.

What it does

  • Thumb-Friendly Tetris Pad: Presents large left, right, rotate, soft-drop, and hard-drop controls sized for quick one-handed use on a phone.
  • Automatic Join Flow: Opens from the viewer QR code and immediately starts requesting the next open Tetris board until the wall assigns the controller a slot.
  • Controller-Side Retry Flow: When the player tops out, the phone shows a name field, the top 10 leaderboard, and a single Try Again action to save the score and restart.
  • Persistent Player Alias: Remembers the last entered name locally, making repeat arcade sessions faster.

How it works

The controller keeps its own UI state locally and sends only small RCWeb function calls back to the viewer.

  • Join and Heartbeat Loop: script.js periodically sends tetrisPro.requestJoin(...) until assigned, then swaps to tetrisPro.controllerHeartbeat(...) so the wall can detect disconnects.
  • Repeat-Hold Input: Left, right, and soft-drop buttons start timed repeat sends after a short delay, matching the feel of a physical arcade pad.
  • Targeted Viewer Feedback: The main display publishes player state back to all controllers through tetrisProControl.* functions, and each phone filters those updates using its rc.client id.
