Objective:

• Developed a classic Tetris game, utilizing functional programming principles within the TypeScript language for a maintainable and scalable codebase.

Core Logic:

• Implemented the game's core mechanics, including tetromino generation, collision detection, line clearing, and scoring system. Ensured that the game logic adheres strictly to the functional programming paradigm, with a focus on pure functions and immutable data.

Keyboard Interaction:

• Managed keyboard interactions through a reactive programming model using Observables.
• Set up listeners for specific keypress events to allow real-time game control without polling or manual event loop handling.
• Enabled a non-blocking game loop that reacts to user inputs asynchronously, ensuring a responsive gaming experience.

Controls:

• W: Rotate the current tetromino.
• A: Move the current tetromino left.
• S: Accelerate the descent of the current tetromino.
• D: Move the current tetromino right.

Tetromino Movement:

• Adjusted the tetromino's coordinates in response to keypress Observables, modifying the game state in a functional manner.
• Encapsulated movement and rotation logic within pure functions to facilitate testing and debugging.
• Managed game state updates efficiently to minimize redraws and optimize performance.

Setup (requires node.js):

> npm install
