Tetris Overview
Tetris Free Download for PC (Russian:Те́трис, pronounced[ˈtɛtrʲɪs]) is a Russiantile-matchingpuzzle video game, originally designed and programmed by Alexey Pajitnov. It was released on June 6, 1984, while he was working for theDorodnicyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow. He derived its name from the Greek numerical prefix tetra- (all of the game's pieces contain four segments) and tennis, Pajitnov's favorite sport.
It is also the first entertainment software to be exported from the USSR to the US and published by Spectrum HoloByte for Commodore 64 and IBM PC. The Tetrisgame is a popular use of tetrominoes, the four-element special case of polyominoes. Polyominoes have been used in popular puzzles since at least 1907, and the name was given by the mathematician Solomon W. Golomb in 1953. However, even the enumeration of pentominoes is dated to antiquity. Tetris Download free Full Version.

Gameplay
«Tetriminos» are game pieces shaped liketetrominoes,geometricshapes composed of four square blocks each. A random sequence of Tetriminos fall down the playing field (a rectangular vertical shaft, called the «well» or «matrix»). The objective of the game is to manipulate these Tetriminos, by moving each one sideways (if the player feels the need) and rotating it by 90 degree units, with the aim of creating a horizontal line of ten units without gaps. When such a line is created, it disappears, and any block above the deleted line will fall. When a certain number of lines are cleared, the game enters a new level. As the game progresses, each level causes the Tetriminos to fall faster, and the game ends when the stack of Tetriminos reaches the top of the playing field and no new Tetriminos are able to enter. Some games also end after a finite number of levels or lines. Tetris game free Download for PC Full Version.
All of the Tetriminos are capable of single and double clears. I, J, and L are able to clear triples. Only the ITetrimino has the capacity to clear four lines simultaneously, and this is referred to as a «tetris». (This may vary depending on the rotation and compensation rules of each specific Tetris implementation. For instance, in the Super Rotation System used in most recent implementations, certain situations allow T, S, and Z to 'snap' into tight spots and clear triples.)
Colors of Tetriminos
Pajitnov's original version for the Elektronika 60computer used green brackets to represent blocks.Versions of Tetris on the original Game Boy/Game Boy Color and on most dedicated handheld games usemonochrome or grayscale graphics, but most popular versions use a separate color for each distinct shape. Prior to The Tetris Company's standardization in the early 2000s (decade), those colors varied widely from implementation to implementation. Tetris Free Download Torrent.
