tetris

A terminal interface for Tetris

installation

For Mac and ArchLinux, the binaries attached to the GitHub release should suffice (instructions). For other Linux distros, you can try the Linux binary as well but no guarantees. See the other two options, installing from source and dex.

I have not tested Windows, but I do think it should work via dex. Please let me know in an issue if it fails so I can update documentation. Thanks!

github release binaries

Here is a quick way to get the one for your OS:

curl -L https://github.com/samtay/tetris/releases/download/0.1.1/tetris-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o tetris
chmod +x tetris
sudo mv tetris /usr/local/bin/

install from source

First get stack. Then

git clone https://github.com/samtay/tetris.git
cd tetris
stack install tetris

install via dex

dex is a really cool application manager that lets you run executables as docker images, so that you don't need to worry about installing them or their dependencies directly.

# get dex if you don't have it
curl -L http://get.iceburg.net/dex/latest-0.12.x/dex -o dex
chmod +x dex
sudo mv dex /usr/local/bin

# add tetris as a repo
dex repo add tetris https://github.com/samtay/tetris.git

# run tetris
dex run tetris

### optionally install tetris globally ###
export PATH="$HOME/.dex/bin:$PATH"
dex install --global tetris
tetris

todo

1. Leaderboard saved to txt file (requires adding brick viewport for name entry) and probably wrapping game in a ui state type
2. Consider refactoring (Game -> a) types with State or Reader abstraction
