Hey, I forked your code fixing a bug and adding some QOL, take a look:

Just wanted to say that this has been a huge help to me! I've been making my own version of Tetris as a project for my computer science class, it's absolutely pretty high above my skill level. But, by using your version as a learning resource I've learned a lot and heavily cut down on all the problem solving I've had to do. Thanks!

A useful improvement would be to add a display for the next shape and a gradual speed increase based on the score, making the gameplay even more exciting and engaging. Spending time on classic games like this and keeping up with digital entertainment news is a great way to boost your mood; for a relaxing break, it’s also worth checking out gambling news sites, which offer plenty of fascinating content. You can always find interesting reviews on such sites to help you enjoy your leisure time. Personally, I find these kinds of articles a great way to clear my head after coding. Did you write the code from scratch yourself, or did you base it on a tutorial?
