A tiny Tetris game that runs in an 80x23 character terminal window, written in a single minified C++ file using ncurses. A commented version of the source is also provided for readability.
Use cases
- play tetris in the terminal
- find a minimal C++ game example
- learn how to build a terminal game with ncurses
- kill a few minutes from the command line
- study minified C++ source code
When to choose
- you want a lightweight terminal game with no dependencies beyond ncurses
- you want a small, readable codebase to learn C++ game/terminal programming from
When to avoid
- you want a graphical Tetris with sound, themes, or online leaderboards
- you need a Windows-native build without a POSIX/ncurses environment
