Tetris for fun
If you never heard about this game or never tried it, today is the day to learn about it! Tetris is called a falling block puzzle game. In this game, we have seven different shapes called tetrominoes: S-shape, Z-shape, T-shape, L-shape, Line-shape, Mirrored L-shape, and a Square-shape. Each of these shapes is formed with four squares and by rotating the pieces and combining them you need to form a full horizontal line in order to clean your screen, every time you complete a full horizontal line the line will disappear.
Using simple commands this game will help you develop useful skills, such as how to think fast and give fast commands
at the same time. It will make you act and think fast and also synchronize your brain to your body. I played this game for many years and I had a lot of fun during that time. The most fun thing was to play against different kind of people because this game is for everyone, it doesn't have a specific kind and involve everyone like children, adults, men and women.
Tetris is a well known game because it is very famous all over the world. The game is played by people of all ages and it has different modes. You can play against players, or play by yourself. Going online you can even play against many players at once. The rule to survive is to clean the map by completing a horizontal line with the pieces and not accumulate many lines, and once you accumulate many lines and the lines hit the top of your screen you lose the game.
Playing against others the objective is to survive for the last and playing by yourself is to accumulate many points and while the time pass the game will get faster so you will need to think fast to rotate the pieces and be able to combine them to a perfect horizontal line.
The elements I will review for this game are: the gameplay, the game history, and the difficulty to learn and play.
-Gameplay
I like it because it is very simple and it is very fun at the same time. Basically you will use one skill but you need to use it very well. The skill is to be creative by rotating the pieces to make the horizontal line and you need to be fast, so you need to have a good synchronization between your body and your mind.
-History
It all began with a puzzle-loving software engineer named Alexey Pajitnov, who created "Tetris" in 1984 while working for the Dorodnitsyn Computing Centre of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, a research and development center in Moscow created by the government.
-Difficulty
It can get really hard to play at fast speed, because you need to give the commands faster each time.
I think everyone from everywhere can learn and play Tetris. I would recommend you to try it because it is very fun and very simple. It won't take that much time to play and also learn. You can play whenever you want it.
It helps release stress, connecting socially and staying mentally sharp are some of the advantages to play Tetris and have fun at the same time.
My personal experience with this game involved three main points. The first one, is that I evolved an ability to be mentally sharp because the game made me be creative to combine the pieces and think fast making me use my mind having fun at the same time. The second point, is that I brought people to have fun with me and we had a good time playing the game and spending some time together even far from each other because we were able to play it online, so it was good for my social life also. And finally, I understood better how to play other games because of Tetris, the game gave me a solid start on how to play games and compete to others having fun. For many reasons, I think it was positive to play in many different ways and I would recommend to others try it.
