Tetris

Installation

What you need:

• Python3
• PyGame-Libary (install it via pip install pygame from the terminal)
• The both datas Tetris.py and Settings.txt, last isn´t necessary but it allows you to change the Window-Settings

Then run Tetris.py and have fun :)

Features

• all shapes (I,J,L,O,S,T,Z) included and also with different colors
• collides with border and other tetrominos will dectected
• filled rows are detected and deleted + rows above will fallen
• the falltime becoms faster every 10 completed rows
• controls:
  • you can rotate (Arrow-Up-key) and move the tetromino to left (Left-Arrow-key) and right (Right-Arrow-key) side and also down with the Down-Arrow-key
  • with Space-key you can drop the falling tetromino to the bottom
  • you can pause the game with p-key and resume by pressing any key
  • if the game is over you can restart the game after 1 second by pressing any key
  • with the shortcut Strg + Q can you close the window (recommended for Splash-Screen-Mode)

A other usefull feature is, that you can set some Window-Properties. To do so you need to create a textfile named settings.txt which needs to be in the same directory as the programm.

{
    "dimensions": "auto",
    "tilesize": "auto",
    "fps": 60,
    "windowframe": "noframe"
}

As you can see in the snippet above, you can change currently 4 values (dimension, tilesize, fps, windowframe):

• dimensions:
  • Defaults to "auto", which means that the program tries to adjust the window size to your screen size. (It also depends on the set tilesize)
  • Otherwise it must be a list with two entries - first the width and then the height of the window (for example: [600, 1000])
• FPS:
  • Default set to the integer 60 (mean 60 frames per seconds)
• tilesize:
  • Default set to "auto", which means that the program tries to adjust the size of the bricks from the tetrominos to the best that fits into the Window
  • Otherwise it must be an integer that defines the size in pixels
• windowframe:
  • Default set to "default" that means that a normal window will created
  • Otherwise you can set it to "noframe", where a splash-screen Window will created

All 4 values must be contained in the file, otherwise the default values are used automatically. The same is true if the file does not exist or the values do not follow the requirements.
