description
A funny way to get used to VIM's h k l and <Space> key.
The first (I hope) interactive game inside pure VIM!
It's a work-in-progress version.

Todo:
- better random
- better timing
- shorter code

If you like games, also see Sokoban vimscript#211!

To start the game, press <Leader>te.

TeTrIs.vim 0.53 2017-02-07 7.0 Gergely Kontra This version is written by Felix Leger

Changelog:
- Shape rotations now match official Super Rotation System (SRS)
- High scores don't wrap around when displayed
- First shape is now always random (instead of always being a bar)
- Shapes' color scheme now matches official Tetris colors as closely as possible (since default terminal ANSI doesn't support orange for L shape, that one is white instead
- Since v0.5, colors are randomly attributed. Now each shape has its own color, like in official Tetris
- Shapes now are homogeneously colored, we see MM, {}, $$, etc. only if colors are disabled (note: can be reverted if dark foreground colors are switched to light foreground colors, see comment in code)
- Wall and \"next piece\" frame now have texture (i.e. light color foreground), helps not confusing the J piece (same color)
- Made default speed slower, closer to official (similar to v0.4)
- Can't acheive infinite speed (i.e. break game) by holding +. Also, speeds grows 10 times faster when + is held (otherwise almost unnoticeable)
