A simple Tetris clone built in Rust using the Raylib graphics library. This project was created as a learning exercise to explore Rust game development and understand the fundamentals of building classic arcade games.

This project is based on the tutorial "Creating Tetris in C++ with raylib - Beginner Tutorial (OOP)" by Programming With Nick, adapted from C++ to Rust to explore Rust's unique features and syntax.

• Classic Tetris Gameplay: All standard Tetris mechanics including line clearing, block rotation, and increasing difficulty
• Seven Tetris Pieces: Complete set of tetrominoes (I, O, T, S, Z, J, L blocks)
• Real-time Scoring: Track your performance with a live score counter
• Next Block Preview: See what piece is coming up next
• Game Over Detection: Proper end-game state handling
• Smooth 60 FPS Gameplay: Responsive controls and fluid animation

The project is structured with clean separation of concerns:

• main.rs - Game loop and rendering setup
• game.rs - Core game logic and state management
• block.rs - Tetromino piece definitions and behavior
• grid.rs - Game board management and line clearing
• colors.rs - Color scheme and visual styling
• timer.rs - Game timing and automatic piece dropping

• Raylib: Cross-platform graphics and game programming library
• Rand: Random number generation for piece selection

• Arrow Keys: Move and rotate pieces
• Down Arrow: Soft drop (faster falling)

This project demonstrates:

• Rust ownership and borrowing principles
• Game loop architecture
• 2D graphics programming
• State management in interactive applications
• Modular code organization
