s21_BrickGame

Tetris and Snake games developed as a practice project at School 21 (formerly 42.fr).

• Two interfaces for each game: Qt-based GUI and ncurses console
• MVC architecture with logic/UI separation
• Finite state machines for game logic

• ncurses (for CLI version, usually pre-installed)
• Qt6 (for desktop GUI version)
