Checklist

[X] I've checked both open and recently closed issues to ensure this feature is not already requested.
[X] I am using the newest version of TETR.IO.
[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.

So i played tetrio on firefox and I saw that you can download the client for windows, mac and Linux. but there is no ARM packages for ARM based devices like the raspberry pi 4 which runs the game almost flawlessly

Describe the solution you'd like

Make ARM builds for the .deb and .tar.gz so people with a raspberry pi or other arm based devices can use the native client and not use stuff like box86 or box64

Describe alternatives you've considered

There is some lag in the web version when selecting a game mode on ubuntu 21.04 RPI on firefox

Additional context

No response

While a Raspberry Pi is a very niche platform and probably doesn't warrant much consideration, there are other ARM (specifically arm64) platforms, such as Apple M1 and Windows on ARM, that might warrant builds.

Greetings from a month later. I have a fancy new MacBook Pro with an M1 Max, and I'd love to see this. As it stands right now, TETR.IO runs amazingly in Chrome, but the desktop app suffers performance-wise. There are stutters and frame drops at times.

A good workaround to make it desktop-like (if you use Chrome) is to use the "shortcut" feature. In the kebab (top-right) menu, select "More Tools", then "Create Shortcut...".

Make sure "Open as window" is checked, then create the shortcut.

This makes it act nearly identically to the desktop app, minus the auto-login and Discord rich presence. But it's a good stop-gap for now.

Well, a solution would be to make the client open-source so we could compile it ourselves

Doesn't work offline though. Also can confirm it heats up and spins fan on M2 mac. Would love to see an Apple Silicon build to play offline.

Offline mode hasn't been working correctly on the desktop client in years. Please review #521 for more information about the status of that feature.
