Directions

Manipulate falling pieces to complete and clear horizontal lines. Fill each of the ten columns of the row. When any row is completed that row is removed and all the blocks above descend to fill the gaps. Tetris is played on a playfield 10 cells across by 20 cells high. As gameplay progresses, one of seven shapes descend from the top of the playfield, constantly moving downward. The player can take one of several actions on the piece:· Rotate it clockwise or counter clockwise· Shift the piece left or right· Drop the piece quickly downward.

Goal: Score as many points as possible without letting the playfield get filled to the top with blocks.
