3. Computer Science Project - Tetris - Grade 11, 2020

Tetris is a tile-matching video game created by Soviet software engineer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984. Tetris is primarily composed of a field of play in which pieces of different geometric forms, called "tetriminos", descend from the top of the field. The objective of the game is to use the pieces to create as many horizontal lines of blocks as possible.

▪  Analyzed requirements of the Computer Science CPT project;
▪ Worked on high-level pseudo code of the Tetris game; Made a draft of flow chart of the program;
▪ Analyzed the algorithm of the Tetris; Figured out how to build internal data structure to represents Tetris components such as Board, Tetris Piece, Point, Colors, Images, and so on; ▪  Built a prototype to implement core functionalities of Tetris;
▪  Designed and implemented the project using Tetris Algorithm;
▪  Created User Interface and images using Java Swing and Image utilities;
▪  Built the main frame of Tetris UI, including Board Panel, Score Panel, Control Panel, and Next Piece Panel using Java Swing;
