To start the game, simply run gui.py.

• movement arrows move the pieces left, right and downwards
• a and d rotate the piece
• x moves the piece to the bottom

It is also possible to run tetris.py from console, and control it using the following commands:

• q: quits the game
• @: sets the game at the menu
• !: starts/pauses the game
• p: prints the current status (menu, pause, or current grid depending on the status)
• P: displays the grid with only the active piece
• g: takes as input a given grid
• c: clears the grid
• s: steps (checks for full lines)
• ?s: displays score
• ?n: displays number of cleared lines
• I: adds an 'I' tetramino
• J: adds a 'J' tetramino
• L: adds an 'L' tetramino
• O: adds an 'O' tetramino
• S: adds an 'S' tetramino
• T: adds a 'T' tetramino
• Z: adds a 'Z' tetramino
• ): rotates active tetramino clockwise
• (: rotates active tetramino counter clockwise
• <: moves active tetramino to the left
• >: moves active tetramino to the right
• v: moves active tetramino one step down
• V: moves active tetramino to the bottom
• t: displayes local grid of the active tetramino
• ;: prints an empty line

The file tetris.py will also pass all the tests of the challenge.
