Small tetris implementation using ocaml-allegro.

Design

• tetris.ml: Handle and update the game state
• main.ml: Display the board and interact with the user

The game-state and game-interaction parts have been separated as much as possible; the goal is to be able to port to a different game engine or gui toolkit simply by replacing main.ml

Install

Requires:

• ocaml-batteries
• ocaml-allegro [download]
• GNU make

The makefile assumes everything has been installed via findlib (if you have installed ocaml and batteries via godi this should hold good).

A basic META file (META.ocaml-allegro) is included to install ocaml-allegro (see the ocamlfind documentation). The following should work:

 $ cp META.ocaml-allegro /path/to/ocaml-allegro/META
 $ cd /path/to/ocaml-allegro/META
 $ ocamlfind install allegro *
