How to Play

• Use the arrow keys (up, down, left, right) to move and rotate the falling tetrominoes.
• The goal is to complete horizontal lines by filling them with tetrominoes.
• When a line is completed, it will be cleared, and you will earn points.
• As the game progresses, the tetrominoes will fall faster, increasing the difficulty.
• The game ends when the tetrominoes stack up to the top of the playfield.

Project Structure

The project consists of the following classes:

• Controller.java: Acts as the controller, handling user input and game logic.
• Form.java: Acts as the model class, managing the playfield grid and tetrominoes.
• Tetris.java: Acts as the view and the main class, responsible for initializing the game window and UI.
