Tetris

Introduction

Tetris is a puzzle video game where players complete lines by moving and rotating differently shaped pieces. These geometric shapes called “tetrominoes” fall down onto a playing field and the player has to arrange them to form gapless lines. You should sit in meditation for 20 minutes a day, unless you’re too busy, then you should sit for an hour. If Tetris has taught me anything, it’s that errors pile up & accomplishments disappear. Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth, Mike Tyson

The Color Class

Tetriminos or tetriminoes are the pieces used in every Tetris game. They come in seven shapes, all of which can be moved, rotated, and dropped. They have an area of four colored squares or boxes. We will draw a thin highlight on every box, too.

Let’s create a class for the different colors that the pieces can have.

The Board Class

The board class encapsulates a two-dimensional array or matrix. Its main purpose is to track the rectangular spaces or boxes where all the falling pieces have landed.

                    self.board[x + piece.x][y + piece.y] = piece.color

            if self.board[x][y] == BLANK:
                return False

                numLinesRemoved += 1
            else:

The Class Piece

Each piece has a shape (I, O, T, S, Z, J, and L), rotation, and a color. They can be seen as 5*5 boards or arrays of blocks where most of them are blanks and four of them have a particular color.

Every time the player pushes the left, right, or down arrow key down, the falling piece should move one box over to the left, right, or drop one box, respectively. Besides, the player can also hold down these arrow keys to keep moving the falling piece in the same direction.

The MOVESIDEWAYSFREQ and DOWNFREQ constants are set so that every MOVESIDEWAYSFREQ or DOWNFREQ seconds that passes with the left, right, or down arrow key been held down by the player, the piece will move another box over to the left or right or drop one box.
