First, set up the HTML canvas and style it with CSS. Use JavaScript to create an array representing the game grid, then use it to draw tetriminos as they fall. Implement functions to handle user controls and detect when rows are completed for clearing. Finish off with a game loop to make everything move!

Why code it yourself when you can find open-source Tetris clones on GitHub? Just fork and tweak!

I made a simple Tetris game using JavaScript by drawing the grid on an HTML canvas. I used an array to track the grid state and functions to handle the movement and rotation of the Tetriminos. Constantly updating the game state with a game loop kept it running smoothly!

Break out your favorite code editor and start by creating an HTML canvas element. Then use JavaScript to draw and manage the falling tetriminos. You'll need to handle user input for rotating and moving the pieces, and implement collision detection to prevent tetriminos from overlapping or falling out of bounds. Finally, add a game loop to update the game state, and you're good to go!
