Tetrys

Tetrys is a minimalist Tetris clone written using Pygame. I started it as a project to teach my girlfriend the basics of game development in what I think is the easiest language for programming newbies: Python. It is cross-platform compatible and has basic gamepad support (there is no way to configure what the buttons do; that is an exercise left to the reader).

Upon running the application you can press N to start a new game, and then use the Left and Right keys to move the current tetrad around the screen. The Down key accelerates the descent of the current piece, and Space drops it to the bottom of the well instantly. A small "shadow tetrad" at the bottom of the well indicates where the current tetrad will fall if left where it is.
