This repository is a working version of Tetris, the classic block-stacking puzzle game, built as a personal project. You can play it in your browser just like you'd expect, falling pieces, rotating shapes, clearing lines. What makes it technically interesting is that it's written in Elm, a programming language that compiles to JavaScript. The README doesn't go into detail about features or controls, but the core gameplay loop of Tetris is here: pieces drop from the top of a grid, you shift and rotate them, and completed rows disappear to make room for more. Elm is known for enforcing a strict architecture where the game state updates predictably, which tends to produce games that rarely crash or behave unexpectedly. The audience is likely other hobbyists curious about Elm or people who want a small, readable codebase to learn from. Since it's a "simple implementation" by the author's own description, it's not aiming to be a polished commercial product, it's a learning exercise or demo. Someone exploring functional programming might study the source to see how a game loop and board state can be modeled without side effects. Beyond the single line in the README, there's no documentation about installation, controls, or planned features. If you're comfortable with basic command-line tools, the project can likely be run locally, but you'd need some familiarity with Elm's build process. It's a straightforward project that does one thing: shows Tetris working in a less common language.
