Tetris (8-4-2)
Tetris is a deceptively simple, completely addictive electronic
puzzle game. The object of the game is to position the falling
shapes, called “Tetraminoes,” across the bottom of a rectangular
pit. Tetraminoes are shapes created from 4 blocks joined
together into 7 different patterns. The Tetraminoes must be
rotated as they fall and positioned across the bottom leaving no
open spaces. When an entire horizontal line fills with blocks, the
line clears from the screen. If lines are not completely filled with
blocks, they will not clear from the screen, and the Tetraminoes
will continue to stack up higher and higher. If the stack of
Tetraminoes reaches the top, the game is over!
Use the following keys to move a falling piece:
• or rotates a falling Tetramino.
