Zigtris

A minimal terminal Tetris written in Zig. Tested with Zig 0.13.0

zig build run

Cursor keys to move, space to drop, q to quit.

Why?

This was a quick weekend project to get back into writing some Zig. I've never tried to implement Tetris, so it was a fun challenge.

Some notes for anyone looking at the code:

• It's messy and unoptimised. I was working out how to do it while doing it (and trying to remember Zig syntax)
• Display is a thin wrapper on top of the mibu terminal library, it provides a double buffered one pixel per character interface where it only redraws changed pixels on the buffer flip
• Stage is the game stage and provides a square pixel interface on top of Display (by printing two chars for each pixel)
• Player holds the Tetronimo shapes and movement logic
• Debris holds the list of fallen blocks for hitchecking and completed line detection
