#### Tetris for the terminal: four modes, each with its own leaderboard

Four Tetris modes in your terminal, each one keeping its own persistent
arcade leaderboard.

**Modes**

* **Marathon** -- endless. Survive and score.
* **Sprint** -- clear 40 lines as fast as you can, and it is ranked by time
  rather than by score.
* **Ultra** -- two minutes on the clock. Score as much as you can.
* **Expert** -- endless, but starts at level 10, with gravity already open at
  170 ms per step instead of 800.

**A leaderboard per mode**

Every mode keeps its own top-10 table, so a Sprint record can never be
unseated by a Marathon score. Time-ranked boards show a TIME column where the
others show SCORE. Entries take three-letter initials, arcade style, and
survive between sessions. A Sprint time is only recorded if you actually clear
all 40 lines -- bailing out at 30 does not post an unbeatable short time.

Also included: a ghost piece marking where a hard drop will land, a
next-piece preview, pause, and a menu you can drop back to mid-game.

Single file C, no build system, and no dependencies beyond libncurses. Built
for a terminal of at least 50x22; anything smaller gets a polite "terminal too
small" notice instead of a screen full of garbage.

## Enable snaps on elementary OS and install Tetris+

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd
