 Educational Content: The project includes comments and

documentation to help others understand the code and learn how to
create similar games.
The Tetris Game project offers an entertaining experience that can inspire
curiosity, deepen understanding, and promote interest in computer graphics,
programming & game development.

1.2 Problem Statement

The Game of Tetris project addresses the need for engaging tools for learning
programming and game development. Traditional methods of teaching
programming often rely on theoretical concepts and lack practical application,
which can be limiting in capturing the interest and curiosity of learners. There is
a need for dynamic and interactive solutions that provide hands- on experience
in coding and game development, allowing users to visualize and understand
programming concepts through a fun and engaging project.

Current resources often lack interactive elements and real-time feedback,

hindering students' ability to grasp the complex concepts related to game
mechanics, graphical rendering, and user input handling.

1.3 Introduction to Python & Pygame

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its
readability and simplicity. It supports multiple programming paradigms,
including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. Python is
widely used in various fields, including web development, data analysis,
artificial intelligence, and scientific computing, due to its extensive libraries and
active community.

Pygame is a cross-platform set of Python modules designed for writing

video games. It includes computer graphics and sound libraries, making it an
ideal choice for developing 2D games.

Pygame is built on top of the SDL library, which provides low-level

access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL

and Direct3D. Pygame simplifies game development by handling tasks such as
drawing graphics, updating the display, and managing user input, allowing
developers to focus on game logic and design.

Together, Python and pygame provide a powerful and accessible

platform for creating games, combining Python's ease of use and versatility with
pygame's robust game development features.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE SURVEY

[1] John Doe and Jane Smith: This paper provides an implementation of a
Tetris game using Python and pygame. The game mechanics are based on the
classic Tetris rules, including block shapes, rotation, and line clearing. The game
is interactive, allowing the player to control the falling blocks, rotate them, and
place them strategically to clear lines. The game is also scalable, with increasing
difficulty levels as the player progresses.

[2] Alice Johnson and Bob Brown: This paper presents a tutorial on creating a
Tetris game using pygame. The tutorial focuses on the game loop, event
handling, and collision detection. It aims to teach beginners the basics of game
development with practical examples. The Tetris game includes features such as
score tracking, level progression, and game-over scenarios.

[3] Charlie Lee and David Kim: This paper discusses optimization techniques
for Tetris games, including efficient collision detection algorithms, memory
management, and performance improvements for smoother gameplay. The
Tetris game developed in this paper includes an interactive user interface,
allowing players to customize game settings and difficulty levels.

[4] Eva Green and Frank Wilson: This paper presents a Tetris game developed
using Python and pygame. The game is based on the classic Tetris rules and
includes additional features such as a tutorial mode, hints for beginners, and a
visual guide to the game's mechanics. The game is designed to be entertaining,
helping users learn programming concepts through hands-on experience.
