TetroMania

TetroMania

Version 1.0.0

Tetris Quest is a classic Tetris game implemented in C++ using SFML (Simple and Fast Multimedia Library). It features four distinct levels, each with increasing complexity and unique obstacles. Players will experience a challenging and engaging gameplay experience as they navigate through various stages of the game. The goal is to clear lines by strategically placing falling tetrominoes and avoiding the accumulation of blocks at the top of the screen.

Technical Implementation

Game Engine Core

  • C++ procedural architecture handling tetromino physics, collision, and grid management
  • SFML-based rendering system for all visual elements (grid, pieces, UI)
  • Game state machine managing gameplay flow from menu to game over

Tetromino Mechanics

  • All 7 classic tetromino types (I, O, T, S, Z, J, L) with proper rotation physics
  • Wall kick and rotation collision detection using C++ bounding box algorithms
  • Randomizer system with bag-of-7 implementation for fair piece distribution
