Tetris with Sticky Gravity - Thumbtack PyCon Programming Challenge 2014

Sticky gravity is explained in depth here: http://tetrisconcept.net/wiki/Line_clear#Sticky

The playfield is divided into connected segments using flood fill. Any blocks that are adjacent horizontally or vertically are marked as one segment, that is, they are treated as having "stuck" together. Each segment falls independently until it meets the floor or another block. Additional line clears may result.

Sample input and expected output are included in this Gist.

Using ctags nicely with git. Add the following files to ~/.git_template/hooks and ctags will always be up to date with your latest git merges/commits/rebases. This also puts the `tags` file into your repo's .git directory, so it won't clutter your workspace.
#!/bin/sh
set -e
PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
trap "rm -f .git/tags.$$" EXIT
ctags --tag-relative -Rf.git/tags.$$ --exclude=.git --languages=-sql
mv .git/tags.$$ .git/tags
