# Tetris
This guide explains how to set up and run a Tetris game using Python's Pygame library.
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up a Tetris game project. It covers the prerequisites needed, including Python and Git. You will create a virtual environment, install necessary dependencies using either `pip` or `poetry`, and run the main file to start the game.
## Motive
The primary goal of this project is to provide a fun and engaging way to learn and practice Python programming using the Pygame library. By working on this Tetris game, you will gain hands-on experience with game development concepts, such as event handling, game loops, and rendering graphics. Additionally, this project serves as a practical example of how to manage dependencies and set up a Python development environment effectively. Enjoy the challenge and creativity of building your own game while honing your programming skills!
## Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed on your system:
1. **Python**: Version 3.9 or later. You can download it from the [official Python website](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
2. **Git**: To clone the repository. You can download it from the [official Git website](https://git-scm.com/downloads).
## Get the Code
Follow these steps to set up the environment and run the Tetris game:
### Step 1: Create a Virtual Environment
A virtual environment allows you to manage dependencies separately for each project, avoiding conflicts with other projects.
1. **Navigate to Your Development Directory:**
```bash
cd ~/Dev
```
2. **Create a New Directory for the Tetris Project:**
```bash
mkdir ~/Dev/tetris -p
```
3. **Navigate into the Tetris Directory:**
```bash
cd ~/Dev/tetris
```
4. **Install `virtualenv` if it is not already installed:**
```bash
python3.10 -m pip install virtualenv
```
5. **Create a Virtual Environment in the Current Directory:**
```bash
python3.10 -m virtualenv .
```
6. **Activate the Virtual Environment:**
```bash
source bin/activate
```
### Step 2: Install the Dependencies
You can install the required dependencies using either **pip** or **poetry**.
#### Using `pip`
1. **Clone the Tetris Repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Arvind-4/tetris.git .
```
2. **Install the Dependencies Listed in `requirements.txt` and `requirements-dev.txt`:**
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-dev.txt
```
#### Using `poetry`
1. **Clone the Tetris Repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Arvind-4/tetris.git .
```
2. **Install the Dependencies Using Poetry:**
```bash
poetry install
```
### Step 3: Run the Main File
Once the dependencies are installed, you can run the Tetris game by executing the main Python script:
```bash
python app/main.py
```
Follow these instructions to successfully set up and run the Tetris game. Enjoy playing!
For any issues, please raise an issue on GitHub or contribute by creating a pull request.
## Conclusion
I have successfully set up the Tetris game using Python and Pygame. This setup ensures that all dependencies are properly managed and isolated in a virtual environment, allowing for a smooth and conflict-free development experience. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improvements, feel free to raise an issue on GitHub or contribute by creating a pull request. Happy coding and enjoy your game!
