tetris-ever20.23.05

Guide each falling rock into place with the arrow keys, rotating it, moving it sideways, or sending it downward faster. tetris-ever is a compact Tetris game written in C and rendered through SDL2, presenting an interactive visual playfield controlled directly from the keyboard. Jintao Yang develops and publishes the program.

The Up Arrow rotates the active rock, while the Down Arrow accelerates its descent; the Left and Right Arrows shift it in their respective directions. Escape exits the current scene, and Q performs the same quit action, giving players two ways to leave the game. It suits people who want a small, keyboard-driven game for quick play sessions on Linux systems.

The current release is 20.23.05, and its open-source license allows users to examine and use the program under that license’s terms. The x86_64 (amd64) Linux build requires snapd, so that system component is part of the runtime environment.

For compiling the program, the developer recommends g++ 7.4.0 or newer and gcc 7.4.0 or newer, along with libsdl2-dev and libsdl2-ttf-dev. The project also identifies sdl2.nuget and sdl2_ttf.nuget for Windows development, with Visual Studio handling the Tetris-ever.sln project and bb3273.ttf placed in the program directory.
