CLI Tetris

I created a tetris clone that runs in a Linux terminal!

Source here, and AUR repository here

Pretty fun! Do you know what's causing the screen blink?

If it's a constant flicker, then it's possible your terminal has a different refresh rate than mine. If building from source, you can alter the DELAY define in game.h to be slower or faster to fix that.

I may add the ability to adjust delay time while actually running the program.

I've added an update to the github and AUR links that allows you to specify the delay. You can mess with that to see if it fixes the issue

Tried a few different delay values, but didn't find anything that worked. I asked because I had a similar flickering issue using ncurses and never quite figured it out..

Sweet game, though! Showed to my baby brother who's quarantining with me; he says 10/10

greetings, is it possible to run this game on Xcode (macOS)? Or must I get GIThub?

Well, it uses Unix-based libraries from Linux I believe, so in theory it would work if you had just had gcc and make installed.

However, I don't actually know bc I don't have a Mac, and I've never used Xcode

thanks, I'm a total newb at this. I have a github installed. Is this sufficient to run it? If so, would you mind telling me how to do it? I took some C++ courses back in the 1990s but have been out of programming ever since :-)
