This project is a classic implementation of the Tetris game, developed using Python and the pygame library. It offers both a desktop version and a web version, allowing players to enjoy Tetris on their preferred platform. The game includes features such as score tracking, next block preview, and a pause/resume functionality.
Tetris is a puzzle video game where players must arrange falling blocks, called Tetrominoes, into complete rows. Each Tetromino is made up of four squares, and the player can move them left, right, or down, as well as rotate them, to fit them into the grid. When a row is completely filled with blocks, it disappears, and the player earns points. the game ends when the stack of Tetrominoes reaches the top of the grid.
To run the game locally, you'll need to have Python installed on your machine. Follow the steps below:
-
Open your terminal
-
Clone the Repository: Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/aviad1486/Tetris-Game.git
cd Tetris-Game
-
Install Pygame library:
pip install pygame
-
Run the game:
python main.py
After following the installation instructions, you can run the game by executing the main.py file. The game window will open, and you can start playing by using the controls described below.
You can also play the Tetris game online via the web version. Simply follow the link below to start playing:
The web version offers the same gameplay experience as the desktop version.
Move Left: Left Arrow
Move Right: Right Arrow
Rotate Block: Up Arrow
Drop Block Faster: Down Arrow
Pause/Resume Game: P
Reset Game After Game Over: Press any arrow key after the game over screen appears.
Score Tracking: The game tracks your score based on the number of lines cleared and blocks moved down.
Next Block Preview: See which block will appear next, allowing you to strategize your moves.
Pause/Resume: You can pause the game at any time by pressing P, and resume it by pressing P again.
Scoreboard: Keep track of your previous game scores and compare them to your current game.
This project was developed using the pygame library. Special thanks to all the contributors who made pygame an excellent tool for game development.

In this bonus section, I introduce an AI agent implemented with reinforcement learning that plays Tetris on its own, continuously learning to improve its performance. check out the README in 'Tetris-deep-Q-learning-pytorch file for more information.
