kektris

About

Tetris is Alexey Pajitnov's puzzle game from the mid-1980s, in which falling four-block tetrominoes are arranged to clear filled horizontal lines before the stack reaches the top. kektris is a Tetris variant built with the Pyxel game engine, described by its author as "4-quarter tetris" and distributed as a pip-installable Python package with a browser-playable web launcher.

How it differs from the original

The game uses a "4-quarter" board layout (also called "Q-tris" by the author), a structural departure from Tetris's traditional single well.

Getting started

Playable directly in the browser via the included web launcher, or installed locally with "pip install kektris" and run through Pyxel's command-line tools.
