Re: Show HN: A Terminal Tetris Game
#2I wanted to share my attempt at implementing the classic tetris game. It works in the terminal and uses the ncurses-rs bindings for the UI part. For me, the coolest part about it is that the tetrominos and their rotations are encoded as 16-bit unsigned integers. For example, to represent a square, we want 51! Why 51? Because 51 decimal is `0b0000000000110011`. We can make 4x4 Vec from that, and we get:
``` [[0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1, 1], [0, 0, 1, 1]] ```
Notice how the 1s form a square?
As I'm still learning Rust, any suggestions regarding the architecture, overall design of the game, more idiomatic code, etc., are very welcome.

#4But doesn't emacs come with this built in? It's practically pre-installed on most of the unix machines I've used. I've even played it at the Apple Store.

#5What is the greatest terminal game ever written?
I guess rogue, adom, nethack would be popular answers; probably the entire infocom catalog?
They're not really my cup of tea, the game I've enjoyed the most is probably asciiportal.

#8In no way detracting from your awesome toy project, intrigued people might also want to check out vitetris. Very similar tetris in the terminal with ncruses, but also supports network play! https://github.com/vicgeralds/vitetris

Nice. Never seen the original before.
The drop-and-slide of a square around 1:26 leaves behind some filled cells! I wonder if that's a bug or was it a part of the original gameplay.

Look up for tetrisconcept.net and theabsolute.plus discord ( https://discord.gg/6Gf2awJ ). Several people have made attempts to recreate sophisticated clones of Tetris, and the absolute plus leader board is written in rust.
