Tetris Game in Python

Welcome to this simple rendition of the classic Tetris game, built using Python and the pygame library.

Rules

Tetris is a tile-matching puzzle game. The objective is to manipulate the falling tetrominoes, which move downwards one space at a time, in order to create a horizontal line without gaps. When such a line is created, it disappears, and any tetrominoes above move down. The game ends if the playing field is filled. The goal is to achieve the highest score possible.

Game Controls

• Left and Right Arrow Keys: Shifts the tetrominoes left or right.
• Up Arrow Key: Rotates the tetrominoes.
• Down Arrow Key: Drops the tetrominoes into place.

Code Walkthrough

For those interested in learning how the game is coded, here's a brief explanation of the main components:

1. Main Game Loop (Main class)

This is where the game's main functionalities are looped through, handling user input, updating game state, and rendering the game.

• pygame.event.get(): Collects all the events that happen during the game, like pressing keys or clicking the mouse.
• self.game.run(): Runs the game logic.
• self.score.run(): Updates the score.
• self.preview.run(self.next_shapes): Shows a preview of the next shape.

2. Game Logic (Game class)

This class manages the logic for moving the tetrominoes, checking for collisions, and clearing lines.

3. Scoring (Score class)

Manages the player's score, based on the number of lines cleared.

4. Preview (Preview class)

Shows the next shape(s) that will fall.
