Quadrapassel Tetris Linux

El Tetris It was a logic video game designed by Russian Alekséi Pazhitnov of the Soviet Union. It was released in 1984, while he was working at the Dorodnitsyn Computing Center of the Soviet Union Academy of Sciences in Moscow.

Its name comes from the Greek prefix tetra, since the game pieces are known as tetrominos. They are all made up of 4 segments distributed in different ways to generate different shapes that you will have to place to complete lines and that they disappear in order not to saturate the screen ...
