I 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.
