Overview

This project implements the classic Tetris game in C language following the original BrickGame console specifications. The implementation consists of two main components:

1. A core game logic library using finite-state machines
2. A terminal-based interface using ncurses

The game faithfully recreates the original Tetris experience with all standard pieces, controls, and mechanics.

Controls

• Start/Pause: 's' key

• Quit: 'q' key

• Move Left: left arrow key

• Move Right: right arrow key

• Soft Drop: down arrow key

• Hard Drop: space bar

• Rotate: up arrow key

• Scoring system with progressive points for multiple lines
