# no_std_tetris
A minimalist, flexible Tetris implementation in Rust that works in both `no_std` and standard environments. This crate provides a core Tetris game engine that can be used on embedded systems, in terminal applications, or in any Rust project needing Tetris gameplay.

## Features
- Works in `no_std` environments, perfect for embedded systems
- Generic over random number generation, allowing for platform-specific implementations
- Simple API for game control (move, rotate, etc.)
- Customizable rendering through a generic drawing function
- Complete terminal example using crossterm
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
no_std_tetris = "0.1.0"
```
## API Overview
### Core Types
* `Tetris<R>`: The main game state, generic over a random number generator
* `RandomGenerator`: Trait for providing random numbers to select new pieces
* `Color`: Enum for piece colors
* `Tetromino`: Struct representing a tetromino pieces
### Game Controls
```rust
// Create a new game with a random number generator
let mut game = Tetris::new(rng);
// Game controls
game.move_left();
game.move_right();
game.move_down();
game.rotate();
// Check game status
if game.is_game_over() {
println!("Game Over! Score: {}", game.score);
}
```
### Rendering
The library provides a default text-based renderer, but you usually will implement your own. The example implementation is:
```rust
pub fn draw_on_screen<R: RandomGenerator>(
tetris: &Tetris<R>,
f: &mut impl fmt::Write,
) -> fmt::Result {
for y in 0..BOARD_HEIGHT {
write!(f, "|")?;
for x in 0..BOARD_WIDTH {
let mut occupied = tetris.board[y][x].is_some();
if !tetris.game_over {
for &(dx, dy) in &tetris.current_piece.shape {
if (tetris.piece_pos.0 + dx as i8) as usize == x
&& (tetris.piece_pos.1 + dy as i8) as usize == y
{
occupied = true;
}
}
}
write!(f, "{}", if occupied { "#" } else { " " })?;
}
writeln!(f, "|")?;
}
if tetris.game_over {
writeln!(f, "GAME OVER - Score: {}", tetris.score)
} else {
writeln!(f, "Score: {}", tetris.score)
}
}
```
