**Assigned:** Mon, Feb 11 \\
**Due:** Fri, Mar 8 \\


===== Summary ===== 

Implement, document, and test a Simple Tetris game, based on the game described in HtDP/2e: [[http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP2e/Draft/part_two.html#(part._sec~3atetris)|Section 13.3]]



===== Components =====

  * Javadoc comments from which to generate your Tetris API user documentation:
    * describe each class (except Examples class)
    * describe each public class (static) variable
    * describe each public method
  * Tests based on the Javalib tester library in an Examples class
    * see links in the sidebar for API documentation  
  * The game classes: based on the Javalib game world libraries
    * see links in the sidebar for API documentation


===== Design Advice =====

  * study and play with BlobWorldImp project
    * run program
    * play game
    * read code
    * look up what you don't understand

  * what classes will you need for your Simple Tetris game?
    * TetrisWorld ---represents Simple Tetris game
    * Block       ---represents a falling block
    * Blocks      ---represents collection of blocks that have landed
    * RandomColorGenerator ---provides a random color for blocks

    * Block 
      * ?
    * Blocks

===== Grading Rubric =====

  - API documentation (javadoc-generated)
  - overall design (classes, relationships)
  - coding style (indentation, spacing, variable names, etc.)
  - tests (for every public method, sufficient number for each method)
  - game appearance / playability
  - your own creativity (above and beyond minimum requirements)
