Tetris Clone

Coding Creativity

Create a fully functional Tetris clone as a single HTML file with embedded CSS and JavaScript.

Requirements:

  • Complete single-file HTML implementation (no external dependencies)
  • Game board with falling tetrominos (all 7 standard pieces: I, O, T, S, Z, J, L)
  • Keyboard controls:
    • Arrow keys for movement (left/right/down)
    • Up arrow or Space for rotation
    • P for pause/unpause
  • Score system with increasing difficulty/speed
  • Line clearing mechanics
  • Game over detection
  • Next piece preview
  • Clean, retro-styled graphics
  • Smooth animations
  • Start/restart functionality
  • Display current score and level

Make it visually appealing with a retro arcade aesthetic. The game should be immediately playable when the HTML file is opened.

Of course! Here is a complete, single-file HTML implementation of a classic Tetris clone. It includes embedded CSS for a retro-arcade aesthetic and all the required JavaScript logic for gameplay.

You can copy and paste this code into a new file, save it as tetris.html, and open it in any modern web browser to play immediately.

  • Single HTML File: No external dependencies.
  • Full Gameplay: All 7 tetromino pieces, falling, moving, and rotating.
  • Keyboard Controls: Arrow keys for movement, Up Arrow/Space for rotation, 'P' for pause.
  • Scoring & Levels: Score increases with cleared lines, and the game speeds up every 10 lines.
  • Next Piece Preview: A dedicated box shows the next piece.
  • Game Over & Restart: Detects game over and allows for an easy restart.
  • Retro Visuals: Uses a dark theme, neon colors, pixelated font, and a subtle scanline effect to mimic an old arcade screen.
  • Smooth Animations: Uses requestAnimationFrame for a smooth game loop.
