Tetris Clone

To create a simple game like Tetris requires minimal logic operations and basic knowledge of a programming language.  This time, we are going to use Java.

The tools required by this application include:

• a two-dimensional array for the game board
• a data type for a game piece (Tetris pieces)
• a set of rules and checks for game functions
• a viewer to display things graphically (Swing)
• a runnable thread to keep the game moving
• a event handler class to tie everything together

Using the MVC design pattern, we can categorize these into three main components:

• Model Class: holds all game assets, including objects and rules (functions)
• Viewer Class: with subcomponents done in Swing
• Controller Class: implements Runnable and acts as listener for Swing components
