A fair implementation of Classic Tetris® video game.
Fairtris is a video game, a clone of the 32-year-old Tetris® game produced by Nintendo for the Famicom and NES consoles, designed for modern Windows systems. Fairtris is not an emulator — it is a full-fledged game, created from scratch in Free Pascal language (using the Lazarus IDE) and with OpenGL support via the SDL library. Thanks to this combination, it is super-fast and ultra-light.
This project was initially created as a tool to test various RNG algorithms, but after some time it turned into a complete and rich video game that provides lots of fun. However, since Tetris® is a proprietary brand to which The Tetris Company is entitled, Fairtris is not a product — it is a knowledge base for those who would like to know more about the internal mechanisms of the classic version of this game.
