Tetris

Tetris is a classic puzzle video game that has captured the hearts of millions since its release. The game was created by Russian software engineer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984. It was originally designed and programmed for the Electronika 60, but it has since been ported to a wide variety of platforms, making it accessible and beloved to gamers of all generations. This version by ytiurin is a meant to simulate the feel and look of the very original game but in a modern, browser environment for that amazing nostalgic feel!

How to Play Tetris?

The objective of Tetris is to manipulate tetrominoes (geometric shapes composed of four square blocks each) with the goal of creating a horizontal line of ten blocks without gaps. When such a line is created, it disappears, and any block above the deleted line will fall. As the game progresses, the tetrominoes fall faster, and the game ends when the stack of tetrominoes reaches the top of the playing field and no new tetrominoes are able to enter.

What are the controls for Tetris?

• The "left" and "right" arrow keys move the falling tetromino horizontally
