[Let's Play] Puzzle Games: Tetris

Background

Gaming and game design is one of the most important standards for ICT-3. Designing high quality games requires that you play games too! For this assignment, students will have some time to play one of the greatest games of all time: Tetris. Tetris is a title-matching game featuring "tetrominoes" which are all of the possible shapes you can create out of four connected blocks. The blocks are selected randomly and fall from the top of the screen.

The player must move and rotate each piece to complete solid lines across game board. Each time a line is finished, it disappears and all of the pieces drop. The more lines completed at once the more points you get. The goal is to score a "Tetris" in which four lines are completed at once. As the game progresses, the pieces fall at faster rates. If any piece touches the top of the game board, the game is over.

You can read more about Tetris by clicking this link to open Wikipedia. You will need this information to complete some of the pre-play questions.

This is an interesting video on the history of Tetris. Feel free to watch it if you want but it is not necessary to answer the questions.
