PETRIS(6)

💖 PETRIS(6) 💖

okay bestie so you found the petris page in the Games Manual and I am so proud of you for reading docs, literally nobody does that. sit down, grab a snack, let's get into it 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

petris — it's Peter's Tetris(TM), that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

petris [size]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this page is the little quick-and-dirty rundown of the petris command, right, just the basics so you know what you're typing into your terminal.

And petris? It's a clone of Tetris(TM) that lives in your command line. No GUI, no window manager nonsense, just you and the blocks. It supports colour and it keeps a highscore file — and if you wanna know the deets on that, go peek at /usr/share/doc/petris/README. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so plot twist: this program does not have any normal command line options. Like, none. Zero. It's giving minimalist. 🙈

The only option available is:

• [WIDTHxHEIGHT] — sets the size of the terminal window. so like, you literally just tell it how big you want your little block arena to be. example: petris 12x25 ✨
