Introduction

An implementation of Tetris made using HTML5 canvas and JavaScript. It currently features several common game modes, including a battle mode against an AI opponent. However, I intend to extend this project by improving the AI and adding additional game modes, with the ability to combine multiple game modes together in a single game.

I chose JavaScript as I wanted this to be a browser-based game, however in the future I may port this to other languages/platforms.

Current Features

• Common Tetris features such as the next queue, hold slot and hard drop.
• Several standard Tetris modes, including gravity and battle modes.
• Heuristic based AI opponent in Battle mode.

Plans in the Future

• Improve the core Tetris mechanics. This includes adding the standard tetris piece generation (7-bag), improving the rotation system and add additional ways of scoring.
• Improve the AI by adding additional metrics to the heuristic, as well as allowing it to play other game modes.
• Add additional game modes, such as hotline, and chill. I also plan to add the ability to combine multiple game modes together in a single game.
• Support additional input types, such as touch screen and gamepads.
• Improve the visuals and sound.
