About

Tetris is one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time. You know the rules. Move and rotate blocks of various shapes to fill the empty space on the screen. Fill horizontal rows with the blocks to continue the gameplay. The game is over when there is no free space on the screen. In this project, you will practice concepts frequently tested in technical interviews at top tech companies.

Training project

This project allows you to practice and strengthen your coding skills, helping you get ready for more advanced tasks ahead.

Very interesting. I really feeling much more skilled with matrices, game states and java in general after completing this project.

In some stages I struggled to fit my code to the intended format of the output and this got frustrating after a while. I think it is a good project to develop your understanding of Arrays, List, Maps etc. but the rules of the project makes it boring.
