Start by creating an HTML canvas where the game will be drawn. Then, use JavaScript to create the game logic, including the grid, the falling tetriminos, and the controls for moving and rotating them. Don't forget to set up a game loop to update the game state and redraw the canvas at regular intervals. Lots of tutorials online can help you with the specifics!

If you're feeling brave, start with a basic HTML canvas and use JavaScript to handle the tetriminos, grid, and game logic. It's a fun project to learn more about JavaScript!

Forget about all the fancy stuff. Create an HTML canvas, use JavaScript to draw shapes, and make them fall. Control them with key events. Boom, Tetris!

I made my own Tetris clone by first setting up a 10x20 grid in JavaScript, then programming the tetrimino shapes and rotations. I used the `requestAnimationFrame` function to handle the game loop and keep everything moving smoothly. It was a challenging but rewarding project!
