How to Build a Simple Tetris Game in HTML and JavaScript

This tutorial will guide you through creating a basic Tetris game using HTML and JavaScript. You'll learn how to set up the game board and draw the blocks.

Instructions:

Create an HTML document: Start by creating a new HTML document named 'tetris.html'.
Add the game container: Inside the HTML document, add the following code to create a container for your Tetris game:

<div id='tetris-container' style='width: 200px; height: 400px; margin: 0 auto;'></div>

Create a JavaScript file: Create a new JavaScript file named 'tetris.js' and place it in the same directory as your HTML document.
Get the container element: In your 'tetris.js' file, select the container element using JavaScript:

const container = document.getElementById('tetris-container');

Initialize the Tetris game: Create a new Tetris object and pass the container element as an argument:

const tetris = new Tetris(container);

Create the game board: Create a new Board object using the Tetris object:

const board = new Board(tetris);

Draw the board: Add the following line of code to draw the game board:

board.draw();

Link the JavaScript file: Finally, link the 'tetris.js' file to your HTML document using a <script> tag:

<script src='tetris.js'></script>

That's it! You've now created a basic Tetris game. You can further customize and add game logic to create a more complex and interactive game.

Note: This tutorial assumes that you have the necessary JavaScript classes for 'Tetris' and 'Board' defined in your 'tetris.js' file. You can find examples of these classes online or create your own.
