Team VS in custom games

[Neeko-iko]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'd like to play with a group of 3 people and do teams idk sounds fun

Describe the solution you'd like

when 3 or more people allow an option in the "game mode" called team vs or something where players can be apart of team names or colors and then garbage won't be sent to players of the same team. garbage can be handled in 1 of 3 ways i feel.

1. it will spread itself out across everybody (ppt does this iirc?)
2. when the team is attacked everybody on that team recieves the same amount of garbage (if 4 lines is sent to 1 person on the team, everybody recieves 4 lines) [nullpomino does this]
3. just keep the targeting for each person and it'll only damage that person on the team, only difference being you can't target your teammates.

Additional context

boards from your team can be displayed on the left? while opponents remain on the right? idk sounds good to me, what else is the left being used for?

This would definitely be cool. My opinions on each idea:

1. The garbage being sent would probably be too little in small battles, and too much in large battles.

2. Seems really overpowered. Maybe if you had like a "team garbage bar" which everyone can contribute to defending + attacking the opponents'? Every 15s or so the garbage gets distributed among each player.

3. Just right? I think it'd be best if everyone targeted a different person, and then swapped occasionally. This would prevent you from getting stuck with really good players and kind of has the spread mentioned in number 1.

This is my opinion for teams. (Copy pasted from #feature-request on discord) What is Teams? Teams mode is just a way to play tetris with friends to work together rather than FFA environment. How do I expect this to be implemented? Targeting: I would want a targeting where there's more strategy rather than the original four. For doubles, I want the targeting system of a split (split between opponents), Eliminations (Just like regular elimination attack), also a shielding function (Protect your teammate from garbage) and the four attack which targets the attackers (Unlike payback I want it to attack multiple people not the most recent attack like tetris 99). For trios or more I should just use the regular targeting system because to make it less complicated.

Pros: I believe that it will create and interesting team work environment. Better than just FFA random targeting where you can suddenly get shot a big spike.

Cons: May be difficult to implement. Probably really time consuming. Also attacking may be too strong.

I believe that teams will be an amazing addition but I don't know how difficult it may be to implement.

Also worth noting that osk has already mentioned some ideas in the Q&A
