You'll need to use Java's AWT and Swing libraries to create the game window and handle user input. Start by creating the game board as a grid of cells. Use a game loop to drop and control the tetriminos, updating the board and checking for completed rows. Here's a [tutorial](https://zetcode.com/javagames/tetris/) to help get you started!

Wanna make Tetris in Java? Learn the basics of JFrame for the UI, implement a game loop with a Timer, and manage game state with a 2D array. Happy coding!

Just use an existing Java game framework like libGDX. This way you can focus on the game mechanics rather than boilerplate code.

Spent a weekend doing this! Java Swing for UI, a bunch of enums for tetriminos, and a Timer for the game loop. Not too tough if you break it down.
