That's a way different and probably better approach to making tetris than what I did. Should be an interesting read. Thank you.

Wow! This is like an early Christmas gift! Super cool!

Thanks! I should probably add some illustrations for the OR operator (XOR is used a few times but never explained, and MOD can be replaced with AND in this case, so I should probably point that out too.) I also spotted some remnants of old code that is no longer necessary (like clearRow taking an argument when the new code no longer uses it.)

If you ever wanted to learn more about binary representation, boolean operators, and how this knowledge can help you program cool stuff, I just uploaded a simple black-and-white page packed with illustrations, code, and step-by-step instructions on how to build your own Tetris engine. Let me know what you think.
