Just a word of warning, the Tetris Company is pretty aggressive about protecting their trademarks. I'd at least pick a different name, but sometimes they even go after Tetris clones which don't use the name (e.g. Apotris). https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/adcac3eddac2e5555d87942d...

Going after "clones" that have similar gameplay is wrong and they should (and likely do) know better. This has been resolved with Hasbro in the past as they were very litigious and went after clones of their games like Scrabble claiming their patent (and other parts) extended to the gameplay elements etc. IIRC the court rejected that argument and said that they can copyright or trademark the color combinations, names of points, etc. but they cannot patent the fundamental scrabble gameplay etc.

The Tetris mark as a whole has an amazing history.

It's basically all edge cases. Going after "clones" that have similar gameplay is wrong and they should (and likely do) know better. This has been resolved with H…

It would be great if undo would make the piece appear at the spot I dropped it from. So I can correct mistakes by "undo", "left", "drop".

Proffesional players usually prefer to X so they can achieve Y"_
Played for a little while and didn’t get a single L piece. I’m guessing you’re picking pieces randomly? If you wanted to further reduce the stress then you could use the single bag system (same link as below, bottom of the page). [1] https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Tetris/Pieces#L_piece
I had the same with an eye piece and I stubbornly continued building rows with single tile gap. It was so satisfying to get the I pieces in the end and finish it!
