# CLASSIC TETRIS
### Dependencies
- Clang (`do not ever try to use gcc`)
- Make (`not so important`)
- SDL2 (`dnf install SDL2-devel` or `apt-get install libsdl2-dev`)
### Compile
- `make run` (`PRESS space to start, use only arrow keys and space for hard drop, arrow key up rotates the piece`)
### Background & Facts
Tetris was firstly coded in Pascal(computer), Turbo Pascal(computer), C(gameboy) and Assembly6052(arkades), the creator of tetris used to love watching shop windows of toy sellers in Russia, one day he saw "Pentominos Puzzle" and got inspired by its pieces to create a board game. Original primitive(prototype) tetris was created with green square brackets and dots and lines while the creator was working in ELORG(Elektronorgtechnica). "Tetris" in the game context means 4 "line" clear.
- Game rights of Tetris were abused by Atari and Maxwell media corporations and the creator of Tetris didn't receive a single cent until 1996.
- Atari and Maxwell media corporations are sued and functionally out of business.
- Nintendo is the biggest supporter and biggest license paying consumer of Tetris up until today.
- Tetris's catchy music is created from Russian folk music called "Korobeiniki"
- “Tetris” is a combination of Greek and the creator’s favorite sport
- Nintendo almost rejected Tetris for Game Boy because Yamauchi(the CEO of Nintendo) found the game not super interesting, however the CEO asked to Shigeru Miyamoto(the designer of Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong) about what he thinks. Miyamoto mentioned he enjoyed the game and when asked "what is enjoyable about it?", he said "Because your secretaries and accountants are playing it"
- Tetris was the first video game played in outer space
