2012 Update:
To compile, open command prompt and change to directory containing the program ("Java-Tetris-master" if downloaded from github)

$ javac Tetris.java
$ java Tetris

and the application should open and high score list should display in the command prompt.

NOTES: The highscore list will print out in the command prompt. This was a deliberate choice of mine.

In addition I chose not to have the ability to 'slide' the Tetrominos once they land, as some games have implemented.

I did not want to include "chain reactions" in this game.

I successfully implemented all parts as required on the sheet. I worked very hard to get to this point.
