Tetris In Terminal

[bingefeller]

Hey guys, I just found how to play Tetris in the Terminal but I don't know of any of the commands to start the game. Can anyone help me please?

use the arrow keys, and the spacebar.


Or did you mean to get to the game?

Hey thanks - yes I did mean the hidden Tetris game.

It's weird, because I don't see the blocks on my screen when I do play!

Did you happen to change your $Term to VT100? change it back and it should work fine.

OK got it, thanks!

One more thing I'm afraid. How do I clear the screen? After I've finished a game the scores come up and when I restart a game they block off half the screen......
