Tetris® Game Overview

Tetris® is a classic and highly addictive puzzle game created by Alexey Pajitnov in 1984. It has since become one of the most iconic video games in history, known for its simple yet challenging mechanics. The game has been released on nearly every gaming platform, allowing players to enjoy it across generations. The objective of Tetris is to score as many points as possible by clearing lines of Blocks that fill up the playing field.

How to Play Tetris:

Objective:

The goal of the game is to clear horizontal lines of Blocks by moving, rotating, and dropping falling Tetriminos (shapes made up of four blocks) into the Matrix (the playing field). A line is cleared when it is fully filled with Blocks, leaving no gaps. As you clear lines, you score points and progress to higher levels.

Gameplay Mechanics:

• Tetriminos: These are the falling shapes that you manipulate during the game. They come in seven different shapes, each made up of four square blocks.
• Movement: You can move the Tetriminos left, right, or rotate them to fit them into the available space in the Matrix.
• Dropping Blocks: When you press the down arrow, the Tetrimino falls faster. If you don't place the Tetrimino in time, it will lock into place, and a new one will fall.

Clearing Lines:

• Line Clearing: When a horizontal line is filled with Blocks and has no gaps, it is cleared from the Matrix.
• Scoring: The more lines you clear at once, the higher your score. Clearing multiple lines simultaneously (such as a "Tetris" where you clear four lines at once) gives you more points.

Levels and Speed:

• Level Progression: As you clear lines, you progress through levels. Each level increases the speed at which the Tetriminos fall, making the game more challenging.
• Faster Falling Tetriminos: With each level, the Tetriminos fall faster, requiring quicker decision-making and more precise placement.

Game Over:

• Game Over Condition: The game ends when the Blocks stack up and reach the top of the playing field. At this point, there is no room for new Tetriminos to fall, and the game is over.

Tips for Playing Tetris:

• Plan Ahead: Always keep an eye on the upcoming Tetrimino to plan where to place it.
• Use the Rotation Feature: Rotate the Tetriminos to fit them into tight spaces and clear more lines.
• Keep the Field Clear: Try to keep the playing field as clear as possible to give yourself more room for new pieces.
• Create Tetris: Aim to clear four lines at once by creating a gap for the long "I" Tetrimino to fall into. This gives you the highest possible score for a single move.
