+# tetris-terminal-game
+
+Tetris Clone.  Runs in terminal.  Implemented in Python3 using ncurses library.
+
+## Setup
+
+To run, type:
+
+```
+python3 tetris.py
+```
+
+Note that the game currently only runs on macOS with Python 3+!
+
+## Objective
+
+Clear lines by placing tetris pieces strategically.
+If the pieces stack up to the top, you lose.
+Try to get to level 11!
+
+## Controls
+
+"up arrow" - rotate piece
+"down arrow" - make piece fall faster
+"right arrow" - move piece right
+"left arrow" - move piece left
+"p" - pause game
+"q" - quit game
+
+## What was the original motivation?
+
+A friend (@jordonwii) told @epai that animation in the terminal couldn't be done.  @epai wanted to prove him wrong, and then some.  So @epai started implementing a full functioning tetris in the terminal. :)
