This is a Java (Swing) Tetris™ clone. It should work on any machine with Java 1.4 installed. This includes MacOS X, Linux, and Windows XP. See screenshots at the bottom of the page, if you like.

There are two ways to obtain the game: downloading a pre-compiled JAR file, or downloading the source. Most people probably want the JAR.

JAR - version 1.0.4-r1
- For unix/Mac people: Download tgz
- For Windows people: Download zip
If you know what to do with it, you can also download the source - version 1.0.4-r1

Once you've downloaded the JAR or downloaded and compiled the source, execute the .jar file by typing java -jar TetrisJ.jar on the command line, or by double-clicking the .jar file in your file browser, if your operating system supports that (MacOS X and WinXP should.) See the README file included with the distribution for more.

A few files from the latest version online:

TetrisJ is released under the GNU GPL. The COPYING file included with the distribution contains the full text of the license.
