DISCLAIMER
This project is provided 'as-is.' It serves as a fully functional prototype and is not intended to substitute the authentic Tetris gaming experience. The primary goal of this project is to explore the implementation of the game within Cinema 4D using Xpresso and Python.
Why DO I NEED PYGAME ?
Pygame is a complimentary Python library designed for crafting multimedia applications, such as games. In this specific project, Pygame is utilized solely for managing music and sound effects. This means that even without Pygame installed, the game remains entirely playable, albeit without sound.
