Tetris 1/2

Tetris is a puzzle-like computer game by Russian programmer Alexei Paschitnow, who completed the first playable version on June 6, 1984 on an Electronica 60 computer. Today, Tetris is considered a computer game classic, has sold over 100 million copies in the meantime, has won many awards and has appeared on more than 65 computer platforms.



The player has to rotate and move the tetrominos, which fall down individually from the upper edge of the rectangular playing field, in steps of 90 degrees, so that they form horizontal rows at the lower edge which are as gapless as possible. Once a row is complete, it disappears. All the rows above it move downwards, thus releasing part of the playing field. For the simultaneous deletion of several rows, the player receives a higher number of points per row than for a single row. The name of the game comes from the ancient Greek word tetra and refers to the number of squares per tetromino. Thus the simultaneous erasure of four rows is also colloquially referred to as Tetris.



In the original form of the game the pieces do not behave physically correctly. The tetrominos remain in the position in which they land instead of tilting according to gravity. In many versions, the moving rows do not fill any gaps that existed before. In this way, tetrominos can make it more difficult to complete underlying lines. When a certain number of distant rows have been reached, the speed of fall of the tetrominos is increased. The game ends as soon as the rows that have not been removed, i.e. those with gaps, have piled up to the top of the board.
