[Tetris Game Algorithm]

ghetto-boyz -  
Hello everyone!
I have a project to create a Tetris game and I have no idea how to do it!

I'm not asking for a complete source of the game but just an algorithm or just an idea on how to do it!

I need it as close as possible and I thank you for your help!

See you!

    Having made one, I can give you some hints.

    A matrix for the play area, filled with booleans.

    Each piece is a 4x4 matrix.

    For example:

    0100
    0100
    0100
    0100

    for a line or

    0000
    0110
    0110
    0000

    for a square.

    The piece is redrawn with every movement (movement, rotation).

    Every time a piece can no longer descend, you check if you have a complete line. If so, you destroy the line and shift the rest of the pieces down.

    It's not very complicated to do, however there are subtleties, especially regarding redrawing your play area after destroying 1 or more lines. That's where the real difficulty lies.

    Good luck!
