HOW IT WORKS
The project uses a free source code developed to JAVA platform by Cederberg, in this code the random algorithm that selects the incoming pieces is modified to give the player the option to choose the next piece, the code is exported to an Applet in order to run in a notebook. All the keys are related to characters on the keyboard so the interface uses a hacked USB keyboard connected to the notebook that projects the game to a surface using a video beam.
