About This File
When talking in the official X-Change™ Life Discord server, I noticed a glaring issue!!! For some, the Titris minigame was way too difficult, almost impossible to win. For others, the game was a breeze, and badly needed some added difficulty. 😮 So I sought to help the citizens of Summer City with a mod! 😤
What is this mod? 🤔
This mod lets you customize your Titris experience with extra settings in the game settings menu!
You can modify:
- The time you get for the minigame
- Piece falling speed (can only decrease)
- The amount of points needed to clear the game
- The number of golden blocks needed to be cleared to win the game (can only decrease)
Time Settings ⏰
This one is simple! It allows you to change the amount of seconds you get to clear the minigame, changing it from the default of 80/120/160 for 1 hour/1.5 hours/2 hours to values anywhere between 40 to 480 seconds.
Time for each setting, at 1 hour/1.5 hours/2 hours.
-50%: 40/60/80
-37.5%: 50/75/100
-25%: 60/90/120 (Accurate to how long each option would be in minutes!!!)
-12.5%: 70/105/140
Default: 80/120/160
+25%: 100/150/200
+50%: 120/180/240
+100%: 160/240/320
+200%: 240/360/480
Piece Falling Speed Settings 🏃♀️
This setting lets you change how fast pieces fall. The "Zero" setting straight up doesn't set a speed, meaning the pieces only move down when you drop them.
I tried increasing the speed, but this would cause the pieces to stay active for dozens of seconds after touching the ground, so I only added settings to decrease the speed.
Falling speed for each setting, in miliseconds per row fallen.
On all settings, the speeds default to the minimum and get 10 miliseconds faster for every minigame difficulty level, over level 1.

Point Settings 📈
This setting changes how many points are needed to clear the game, by changing both the base amount of points needed and the amount of extra points you need to get depending on the minigame difficulty level.
On all settings, the point requirement has a base value, to which is added the game difficulty multiplied by a certain number.

Block Settings 🟨
This setting changes the amount of blocks that start on the game board. This doesn't change the base number of blocks, but changes the amount of blocks that get added based on the minigame difficulty. The game didn't seem to accomodate higher values, so I only implemented options that decrease the number of blocks.
On all settings, there will be 10 blocks as a default, to which is added the game difficulty multiplied by a different number.

Conflits With Other Mods😡
This mod only adds one passage and edits two others, but those two are only used for the Titris minigame. There should be 0 conflicts with mods that don't mess with Titris.
The only mod I even know of that modifies Titris is my own previous mod, "Titris - Double Time", of which this mod is a pure improvement.
What To Look Forward To 👀
- Bug fixes! This is a small and simple mod that shouldn't have many issues, but you never know.
- Perhaps more settings for Titris!
- Settings for other minigames! I'm considering looking into Milktris, then maybe the Nanobot minigame afterwards?
Reach out on the X-Change Life Discord if you notice an issue with this mod or have ideas of things I could add! 🙂
