Tetris Clone

A tetris terminal game written in Python 3 using the builtin curses module (a Python wrapper for the C ncurses library). I focused on object-oriented programming and having clean easy-to-read code spread over multiple files/modules.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Python >=3.5.2

Config

The config.py file contains global variables DEBUG and SPEED. DEBUG turns debugging mode on and off, while SPEED controls the initial period length (difficulty) of the game.

Running the program

To run the program, type:

python3 main.py

For best results, use Ubuntu's GNOME terminal and a monospace font.

Monospace font can be achieved by:

> open terminal
> edit profile preferences
> general tab
> tick custom font
> monospace font of your choice (I used monospace regular in 12pt)

Controls

Directional keys:

• right, left, down move the piece in that direction
• up rotates the piece clockwise

q/y/n:

• q quits at any time
• y/n allow continuing or quitting after a loss
