I followed the advice and changed the SimpleTetris to use Image directly. The reason I hadn't done so is because it made SimpleTetris independent of the API and so easier to test for me. Anyway, I changed it because I guess it's better not to copy the data structure on a such a small device.

BUT, I have a question. Do you have a way to do some testing on the program without pushing to the microbit? Because I got tired at reading the microbit scrolling error message even on such a small program...

Do you have a way to do some testing on the program without pushing to the microbit?

Try using tools/pyboard.py to quickly upload and run your script:

$ ./tools/pyboard.py /dev/ttyUSB0 examples/tetris.py

(replace ttyUSB with your device)

Just found this tetris game and love it - nicely done.

In terms of testing without pushing to the microbit, I've been working on a microbit simulator to make it easier for students / teachers to debug code in a browser. Here it is running your tetris game: https://create.withcode.uk/python/Nb

This is great, but I'm not sure it can be merged as-is due to the Tetris copyright. Probably renaming "Tetris" in the code would be enough to overcome that problem.

I've renamed it to FallingBlocks and merged it in 77c2e2a.

Thanks for the contribution, it's a really fun little game!
