Introduction

Tetris is a browser-based puzzle game from developer santiagoramirezlopezpl, rebuilt in Unity and published for the web as a WebGL build. It is a remake of an earlier C++ project built with OpenGL and GLUT, and it preserves that original's rules: six piece types, the same color scheme, a purple background, and a steady fall rate of one drop per second. Blocks descend into a 10-by-20 grid, a shift from the older version's pixel-based positioning. Complete a row of ten blocks and it clears; the run ends once the stack reaches the top of the playfield. The controls are compact: A and D or the arrow keys shift a piece sideways, Space, Up, or W turns it, S or Down makes it descend faster, and R restarts. It is a single-player arcade puzzle with a classic feel and nothing to install. The developer also notes that the C# scripts for this Unity version were written with Claude as an assistant, working from the original code.
