Tetris Lanterna

Features

• Keyboard Controls: Move and rotate Tetris blocks using arrow keys.
• Game Over Handling: Detects when the game ends and allows restarting.
• Score Tracking: Keeps track of the player's score and cleared lines.
• Level Progression: Increases difficulty as the player clears more lines.
• Text-Based Rendering: Uses the Lanterna library for terminal-based graphics.
• MVC Architecture: Clean separation of concerns with Model-View-Controller design.
• Dynamic Piece Generation: Randomly generates Tetris pieces for gameplay.
• Line Clearing: Automatically removes full lines and updates the score.

Unit testing

• ControllerTest: Verifies input handling (e.g., arrow keys, game restart) and ensures the view is updated correctly.
• ModelTest: Tests for game logic, including piece movement, line clearing, scoring, and game state.
• ViewTest: Ensures the display is updated correctly based on the model's state, including rendering pieces and game over messages.
• TetrisTest: Verifies the successful initialization of all core Tetris game components (Screen, Model, View, and Controller).

Requirements

• Maven: For dependency management and building the project.
• Lanterna: Terminal-based rendering library.
