Tetris Game

Tetris is a classic puzzle video game where geometric shapes, known as "tetrominoes," fall from the top of a rectangular grid. The player must rotate and arrange these tetrominoes to form complete lines. Once a line is completed, it disappears, allowing more room for additional tetrominoes. The objective is to prevent the stack of blocks from reaching the top of the grid.

Key Features:

• Falling Tetrominoes: Shapes like I, O, T, S, Z, L, and J fall from the top.
• Line Clearing: Complete a row to clear it and earn points.
• Increasing Difficulty: As the game progresses, tetrominoes fall faster.
• Simple yet Challenging: Requires both strategy and reflexes.

2. Set up a Virtual Environment (Optional but Recommended)

It's good practice to create a virtual environment to manage dependencies.

• On macOS/Linux:

  python3 -m venv venv
  source venv/bin/activate

• On Windows:

  python -m venv venv
  venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Dependencies

Once in the project directory, install the required libraries using pip.

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you don’t have a requirements.txt file, make sure to install the necessary libraries, such as pygame, manually:

pip install pygame

4. Run the Game

After installing the dependencies, run the game using the following command:

python main.py

5. Deactivating the Virtual Environment

When you are done playing or modifying the game, you can deactivate the virtual environment with:

deactivate
