Notes

• This game is an improvement from the tutorial which reduces CPU usage from 22% to 8% (tested on my computer) by:

  • Change logic for check_lost which only check for positions of the latest shape.
  • Reduce for loop in grid by tracking grid's available positions used in valid_space and grid#update.
  • Draw only changed parts on pygame's surface.
  • Take advantage of python's generator.
  • And some other minor optimizations.

• Game pause was added.
