CLUSTER TERMINAL-GAME-TETRIS · 18 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2013-02-13
Terminal Tetris clones
This cluster consists of terminal-based Tetris implementations, primarily recreations of classic falling-block gameplay for command-line environments. Entries appeared intermittently from January 2008 through April 2026, with one or two per month and no clear trend, making the timeline too sparse to read a shape from. The traction leaders, all with zero stars, are tetro-tui, tetris-cli, and terminal-tetris.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 18 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
