[X] I am certain this is a feature request, not a bug.
[X] I've thought this feature through properly.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Custom Blocks (#561), recently added to the Long-term and Bounty milestone, may get unwieldy depending on what pieces are available.
Describe the solution you'd like
Buttons to reflect blocks over the Y-axis, possibly the X-axis, and mayyyybe the diagonals as well?
Obviously disabled by default -- you'd need to enable them in the room or custom game settings.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A second hold queue, like in Tetris Blitz?
A cylindrical board where the left side of the board wraps around to the right, Pacman style, so you wouldn't have to make straight edges on the sides?
Flipping/reflection plus a cylindrical board?
Additional context
Flipping/reflecting is already a feature in several stacker games, such as Pokemon Tetris on the Pokemon Mini, Spyro Oshisaure's Puzzle Juggle Trouble, and as an item in Tetris Axis.
Nice additional improvement. There are two thing to care about - kicks in performing reflections/flips and number of allowed reflections/flips.
Here's my comment over alternatives:
How will you implement the second hold; only assigning a different key or something?
Column 10 wraps to column 1 and columns 1-9 are now 2-10. Will it apply piece-wise, multiple-piece-wise or time-wise?
This would not get implemented if the main idea is rejected.
