Tetris is an old classic arcade game from Russia. The first version ever released was published on 6th June, 1984 by Alexei Paschitnow who is also the inventor of this cult game. Although, he got inspiration by the puzzle game Pentomino To date, over 100 million copies were sold and there exist over 65 ports for different plattforms.

The game consists of seven different blocks called Tetrominos (I, J, L, O, S, T). The letters represent the forms of the Tetrominos, which all possess four squares as the building material.

My clone of this game principle is made up by one HTML5 file containing a canvas element and a JavaScript file using ECMA script 6. It has a minimalistic look and keeps the focus on the actual tiles, not on anything else. I hope you have at least somewhat fun playing this game - or browsing my source code. Feel free to critize it - at least I want to learn from projects like this one.

Setup

Tetris.js is very intuitive and easy to set up. Just download the repository or the most recent release of this project and extract the downloaded file into a new folder. Now you just have to start the index.html-file or the TetrisJS.exe of the release version.
