Tetris in the terminal

Powered by Rust and the ruscii engine

Uses the Super Rotation System

Controls

X, Up = rotate clockwise
Z = rotate counterclockwise
Left, right = move piece
Space, Down = drop piece
Esc, Q = quit

Dependencies

Ruscii requires libx11-dev to build. Install it using your favourite package manager.

Running

Build from source:

cargo run

or

cargo build

Or download the binary for your operating system from the releases tab.

Wayland

Ruscii does not support Wayland. The only way that other packages have been able to get keystrokes on Wayland has been through kernel-level monitoring. If you are using a Wayland based window manager or desktop environment, running this in a terminal under XWayland will work.
