Any of the following commands will produce a more than decent binary.
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSmallEnjoy!
The numbers displayed are lines cleared and time passed respectively. The game is basically a 40-line sprint in which you can ignore the finish line and continue playing. Once you clear 40 lines, the time displayed will be the same for the rest of that session.

Currently, there are no plans to add a configuration file. However, I am not entirely opposed to the idea.
In order to customize Zigtris, below are a few helpful pointers.
Scaling is done automatically based on the window's height. To change the
initial block size, change the SIZE variable. This will affect the initial
window size.
In the Keyboard structure are two variables, initial_delay and
repeat_delay. Both are used to determine whether a held down key should
repeat or not. The initial delay waits a number of time units before
activating the repeating behavior. Then the repeat_delay is used to determine
the number of keys per time unit.
As per default, they only affect Left, Right, and Down arrow keys.
Look for SDL_SCANCODE_ to see all the keys and customize to your liking.
The default is a JetBrainsMono
variant. Simply replace ./assets/font.ttf, then recompile to change it.
In-game you can cycle through the colorschemes by pressing Tab or Backspace. The default colors are habamax, gruvbox, onedark, and some pastels. Most of these are popular colorschemes used by programmers.
The drawing style for pieces is very simple. I hope to keep it as simple as possible, while still having some variety. That said, there is a Style enumeration which could be expanded on.
Feel free to suggest changes.
