Raspberry Pi Python rgb matrix tetris

A project to create a tetris game on a Raspberry Pi using RGB Matrix / USB JoyStick.

Requirements

This package requires the following system packages to be installed:

• python-dev
• build-essential
• python-pip

These can be installed using the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-dev build-essential python-pip

Installation

Begin by installing this packages requirements:

sudo -H pip install -e .

Finally copy the example configuration file example.config.py, and save it as config.py

cp rgbmatrixtetris/example.config.py rgbmatrixtetris/config.py

Configuration

You can now configure Rgb-Matrix-Tetris in a few simple steps. Open rgbmatrixtetris/config.py and update the options as needed.

• switches - An array of Switches using GPIO pin as the key.
• columns - The number of columns the board has.
• rows - The number of rows the board has.
• shapes_next_count - The number of shapes to generate in advance.
• fps - The games frames per second.
• countdown - The game countdown in seconds.
• interval - The game tick interval in milliseconds.
• score_increments - An array of numbers to increment score by in game.
• level_increment - The score when to increment the level by in game.
• interval_increment - The number to reduce the game tick interval by in milliseconds.
• rgb_matrix_hardware - The rgb matrix hardware.
• rgb_matrix_rows - The number of rows the rgb matrix panel has.
• rgb_matrix_chain_length - Number of daisy-chained panels.
• rgb_matrix_parallel - Number of panels that are parallel chains.
• rgb_matrix_pwm_bits - Bits used for PWM.
• rgb_matrix_brightness - Sets brightness level.
• rgb_matrix_lsb_nanoseconds - Base time-unit for the on-time in the lowest significant bit in nanoseconds.
• rgb_matrix_gpio_slowdown - Slow down writing to GPIO.

Usage

It's really as simple as using the main file

sudo python rgbmatrixtetris/main.py
