It is a video game that is developed with a motive to get an order out of chaos. It helps in improving both thinking and learning skills. Wouldn\u2019t it be interesting to build this game in Python? So, let\u2019s start.<\/p>\n<h3>What is Tetris?<\/h3>\n<p>The Tetris game consists of blocks\/tetriminos, of different shapes. that appear one after another. And the objective is to place these blocks on the screen such that we form rows at the bottom of the board.<\/p>\n<p>Every completed row increases the score. To do so, the player will be allowed to move the falling block to left, right, down and also rotate it using the keyboard buttons.<\/p>\n<h3>Python Tetris &#8211; Project details<\/h3>\n<p>To build this game we will be using the Pygame module in Python. We will also use the random module to select the shape and color of the Tetrimino. And we consider the whole game board and the blocks as matrices. This makes it easy to do the operations, shifting, and rotation.<\/p>\n<h3>Download Python Tetris Code<\/h3>\n<p>Please download the code for the Tetris game here: <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1BRmiMzTXTg8a4lzbvuKgDBKyYNFfKKZh\/view?usp=drive_link\"><strong>Python Tetris Game Project Source Code<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Project Prerequisites<\/h3>\n<p>It is suggested to have prior knowledge on Python and PyGame. If you don\u2019t have the PyGame module, then you can install it using the following command.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">pip install pygame\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>Steps to build the Python Tetris Game<\/h3>\n<p>We are done discussing the necessities of the project, let us look into the steps to be followed to build the project.<\/p>\n<p>1. Create a matrix storing the information about the block and write a class to handle these details.<\/p>\n<p>2. Create a class to handle the creation of blocks, their movement, and placement.<\/p>\n<p>3. Create the main window for the game.<\/p>\n<p>4. Keep checking the button pressed and the status of the blocks in the board.<\/p>\n<p>5. End the game when the blocks touch the top of the board.<\/p>\n<p>This game is written in an infinite while loop that runs till the fifth condition above is met.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Importing the required modules<\/h3>\n<p>We are importing the pygame module which we use to build the Tetris game and then importing the random module to get the shapes of the blocks in a random manner.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">import pygame\r\nimport random\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>2. Creating variables to store shapes and colors of the blocks<\/h3>\n<p>In the below code, the shapes variable holds the matrix that contains information about the shape of the block. Assume a 4&#215;4 block and give each cell indices as shown below<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 214px\" width=\"259\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">0<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">6<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">7<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">8<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">9<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">10<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">11<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">12<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">13<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">14<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">15<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then, [1, 5, 9, 13] represents the vertical line (second column),\u00a0 [1, 5, 9, 8] represents L shape, etc. And the shapeColors hold the RGB values of different colors from which we randomly select a color for a block.<\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">#Shapes of the blocks\r\nshapes = [\r\n        [[1, 5, 9, 13], [4, 5, 6, 7]],\r\n        [[4, 5, 9, 10], [2, 6, 5, 9]],\r\n        [[6, 7, 9, 10], [1, 5, 6, 10]],\r\n        [[1, 2, 5, 9], [0, 4, 5, 6], [1, 5, 9, 8], [4, 5, 6, 10]],\r\n        [[1, 2, 6, 10], [5, 6, 7, 9], [2, 6, 10, 11], [3, 5, 6, 7]],\r\n        [[1, 4, 5, 6], [1, 4, 5, 9], [4, 5, 6, 9], [1, 5, 6, 9]],\r\n        [[1, 2, 5, 6]],\r\n    ]\r\n#Colors of the blocks\r\nshapeColors = [(0, 255, 0), (255, 0, 0), (0, 255, 255), (255, 255, 0), (255, 165, 0), (0, 0, 255), (128, 0, 128)]\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>3.
