Tetris

Inspiration

The inspiration for this project came from the classic game of Tetris. We wanted to recreate this timeless puzzle game in Python, adding our own modern twist to it.

What it does

Our Tetris game provides the same engaging gameplay as the original. Players must strategically arrange falling blocks of different shapes in order to complete lines and gain points.

How we built it

We built this game using Python and the Pygame library. We started by setting up the basic game structure and defining the Tetris shapes. Then, we implemented the game logic, such as line completion and game over conditions. We also added a pixel art background to enhance the visual appeal of the game.

Challenges we ran into

One of the main challenges we faced was handling the rotation of the Tetris pieces. We had to ensure that the pieces would not rotate out of the game screen or overlap with other pieces.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of successfully recreating the classic Tetris game with a modern look and feel. We're also proud of the clean and efficient code we wrote, which makes the game run smoothly.

What we learned

Through this project, we learned a lot about game development in Python. We also gained a deeper understanding of the Pygame library and how to use it to create engaging games.
