Lab 7-8:  Tetris!
Due:  Sat 14-Nov-2009 at 10pm (email copy to your CA)
(no late submissions accepted).

Read these instructions first!

• The lab instructions from lab2 all apply here, except:
  • On this lab, you may only collaborate with students currently enrolled in 15-110, and then with no more than 3 other students.
     
• As explained in that document:
  • Submit your free-response answers in a single file named Lab7.txt (or .doc, .pdf, .rtf, or .html -- but not .docx!).
  • Your top-level directory (which must exist) should be named lab7-<andrewId>.  Submit a zipped version of this.
  • Do not submit .java~ files, .class files, project files, or any other extraneous files.

• Style counts!!!  Use well-named variables, proper indenting, reasonable commenting, etc.

Tetris
Write Tetris using the design as specified in the notes for "Tetris for Intro/Intermediate Programmers".  Place the results in a file named Tetris.java.  Also, add test methods wherever they are appropriate.

Bonus/Optional:  Tetris Extensions
Extend your Tetris implementation in interesting and compelling ways that (a) make the game more fun for players and (b) show off your hard-won programming skills.  Read part 8 of the Tetris notes for ideas, though you are not limited to these suggestions.  To receive proper credit, be sure to add a comment at the header of your Java program clearly listing each bonus feature you added, and also listing the total # of hours you invested in bonus (with the usual bonus rules applying).  Also:  please obtain instructor approval before going beyond 5 hours of bonus time on this assignment (this is not to discourage you (no!), but to be sure that all that time is invested in appropriate and credit-worthy activity).  Be creative!  Have fun!!!

Carpe diem!
