How to write a Tetris game in Python?

Is it really hard to develop a game?It's actually quite simple!

Today we are going to use Python to develop a Tetris game.

First of all: you can use pygame, a game development library. Here's an example of a simple game of Tetris**. Make sure you have pygame installed. You can install it using the following command:

pip install pygame

import pygame

import random

pygame.init()

Set the game window size and color.

window_width, window_height = 300, 600

window = pygame.display.set_mode((window_width, window_height))

pygame.display.set_caption("Tetris")

Define the color.

white = (255, 255, 255)

black = (0, 0, 0)

red = (255, 0, 0)

cyan = (0, 255, 255)

Define the block size and velocity.

block_size = 30

fps = 10

Initialize the clock.

clock = pygame.time.clock()

Define the block class.

class block:

def __init__(self):

self.x = window_width // 2 - block_size

self.y = 0

self.shape = random.choice(['i', 'o', 't', 's', 'z', 'j', 'l'])

self.color = red if self.shape == 'i' else cyan

def draw(self):

for i in range(len(shapes[self.shape]))

for j in range(len(shapes[self.shape][0]))

if shapes[self.shape][i][j] == '1':

pygame.draw.rect(window, self.color, [self.x + j * block_size, self.y + i * block_size, block_size, block_size])

def move_down(self):

self.y += block_size

Define the block shape.

shapes = {

i': ['o': ['t': ['s': ['z': ['j': ['l': [

The main loop of the game.

def game_loop():

running = true

block = block()

while running:

for event in pygame.event.get():

if event.type == pygame.quit:

running = false

keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()

if keys[pygame.k_left]:

block.x -= block_size

if keys[pygame.k_right]:

block.x += block_size

if keys[pygame.k_down]:

block.move_down()

window.fill(white)

block.draw()

pygame.display.flip()

clock.tick(fps)

if __name__ == "__main__":

game_loop()

pygame.quit()
