history

Project history and usage

yetris is a terminal Tetris clone by Alexandre Dantas, built for players who want modern Tetris conveniences inside a text UI. Its README frames it as a customizable terminal game with colors, animated ncurses screens, hold and ghost pieces, multiple profiles, gameplay statistics, and old-school mode options.

Project history

The public GitHub repository was created in February 2013. The README says the project was originally developed in C and later reprogrammed in C++ with ncurses, with POSIX terminals as its target environment.

Its short public release series in early 2014 shows a compact, hobbyist terminal-game lifecycle: v1.6 and v1.7 in January 2014, v2.0 in February 2014, and v2.1 in March 2014.

Adoption history

The project remained a niche terminal game rather than a broad platform, but it acquired the usual small-package signals that matter to command-line game collectors: a man page, a make-based install flow, POSIX focus, ncurses dependency, and packaging in Unix package sets.

How it is used

Users build it with make, can test it with make run, and launch it as yetris. The README points users to man yetris and yetris --help after installation.

Why package nerds care

yetris is useful catalog material because it represents the ncurses game tradition in package managers: tiny executable, no service, no account, no network API, just a portable text-mode game with enough customization to justify packaging.
