🐍 Python Tetris

A Tetris game built with Python programming language alongside with PyGame library.

🚀 Features

Blocks (Tetrominoes): Tetris is built around tetrominoes, geometric shapes consisting of four square blocks each. These shapes fall from the top of the game area and can be rotated and moved horizontally as they descend.
Gameplay Mechanics: Players must manipulate the falling tetrominoes to create complete horizontal lines without any gaps. When a line is completed, it disappears, and any blocks above it will fall to fill the space. The game ends if the stack of tetrominoes reaches the top of the game area.
Scoring System: Points are typically awarded for each line cleared, with more points given for clearing multiple lines simultaneously (known as a "Tetris"). The scoring system may also reward players for the speed at which they clear lines or for achieving certain milestones.
Speed Increase: As players progress through the game, the falling speed of the tetrominoes typically increases, making the game more challenging over time.
Level Progression: Tetris often features a level system where players advance to higher levels as they clear more lines. Advancing levels may bring increased speed or other changes to the gameplay.
Hold Piece: Some versions of Tetris allow players to temporarily hold a tetromino, to be used strategically later.
Next Piece Preview: Many Tetris games offer a preview of the next tetromino that will appear, allowing players to plan their moves in advance.
