Requirements

This project requires aplay to be installed on your system, as well as the ncurses lib dependencies.

sudo apt-get install alsa-utils ncurses-base

Create your own tetriminos

You can craft your own tetriminos ! The binary will look for .tetrimino files located in the tetriminos/ folder.

The format is the following:

cols rows color
[shape]

Here is a sample file:

3 2 3
***
 *

Your tetrimino doesn't seem to appear in-game ? It may be badly formatted, activate the debug mode with the -d option.

Known issues

The game may blink annoyingly, due to a big mapsize or of your terminal. This is our first ncurses project, so don't blame us :)
