• The game classes: based on the Javalib game world libraries
  • see links in the sidebar for API documentation

• 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
