Tetris on termux on Android phone
(lemmy.ca)
I never imagined I'd like playing Tetris on the command line, on a terminal on my phone (termux), but here I am!
I couldn't find any Tetris app on fdroid, and just checked if pkgs had one. Lo and behold! It asked me to run pkgs install vitetris, and when I did, the tetris command was there to launch the game.
It's a two step process, as opposed to just launching an app, but it is very lightweight, no tracking, and FOSS.
For anyone with termux already installed and feeling a bit nostalgic, might be worth trying it out.
Except tetris is not as stable as you might think
The current ruleset uses vastly different rotation systems than the games in the early days, or Akira's TGM series.
Moreover, you can add new features without it being pay 2 win (or even paid), like tetr.io does: ranked matches, leaderboards, tournaments, social interaction, etc... They can also make new rules, like how they recently removed passthrough in online matches.
