Tetris

======

![tetris.gif](tetris.gif)

A tetris game in C using NCURSES.  It's pretty feature complete, except for

stretch goals I may pick up in my free time.

Building

--------

My dependencies are:

* `libsdl` and `libsdl_mixer` 1.2 for sound.

* `ncurses` for terminal manipulation.

To install them on Arch Linux:

    sudo pacman -S sdl_mixer ncurses

To install them on Ubuntu:

    sudo apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libncurses5-dev

To compile:

    make

To run:

    bin/release/main

You will need to provide a file named `tetris.mp3` in the same directory that

you're running the game from.  As I understand it, the official Tetris theme

song is legally protected in the use of games like this, so I will not be

providing or linking to that.  But I'm sure you could find something!  (**You do

not need to provide `tetris.mp3` in order to play the game, only if you want

sound!**).

Instructions

------------

The controls are typical of Tetris:

* ← and →: Move the tetromino,

* ↑: Rotate (clockwise?) the tetromino,

* ↓: Immediately drop the tetromino (not a fast drop, an immediate drop),

* Q: Exit the game prematurely,

* P: Pause the game (any key to resume),

* B: "Boss mode" - show a mock terminal screen to fool nosy onlookers.  Hit

  F1 to resume the game afterwards.

* S: Save game and exit (just assumes filename `tetris.save`).  To resume the

  game, run `bin/release/main tetris.save` (or whatever you may have renamed the

  game save to).

Future/Stretch Goals

--------------------

* Sound effects (in addition to the theme music).

* Networked multiplayer!
