Tetris

A tetris engine python package powered by rust

• Handles the tetris game logic for you so you can focus on building a tetris interface
• Provides flexibility for the game loop, allowing you to define the game loop entirely or run a built-in game loop thread in the background
• The built-in, multithreaded game loop capability makes use of rust's safe concurrency offering

Install the package

Install from pypi

pip install tetris_engine

Install directly from this repository

pip install http://www.github.com/peter-lucia/tetris_engine/archive/main.zip

Example usage:

from time import sleep

from tetris_engine import Tetris, Direction

def run_singlethreaded():
    """
    You control the game loop as well as the game speed
    """
    tetris = Tetris()
    while tetris.is_game_running():
        tetris.move(direction=Direction.Down.value)
        for row in tetris.read_game():
            print(row)
        print()
        sleep(1)
        

def run_multithreaded():
    """
    You control the user controls of the game but the 
    game loop runs in a background thread 
    """
    tetris = Tetris(multithreaded=True)
    while tetris.is_game_running():
        tetris.read_game()
        for row in tetris.read_game():
            print(row)
        print()
        sleep(.5)
