## What it is
A terminal-based Tetris game written in Haskell using the brick TUI library. It runs directly in the command line with configurable levels, preview characters, and high-score tracking.

## Use cases
- play tetris in the terminal
- terminal game for linux and macos
- tui game written in haskell
- play a quick game from the command line
- example of building terminal UIs with brick

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight Tetris game playable directly in your terminal on macOS or Linux
- you want a real-world example of building TUI apps with Haskell's brick library
- you prefer keyboard-driven terminal games over graphical ones

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical Tetris with sound and animations
- you primarily use Windows, where support is questionable
- you need a game that works reliably across arbitrary Linux distros via prebuilt binaries
