Having a boring day? Try Playing Tetris On Your Mac Terminal

After a long boring day at work, what about taking a short break and play some cool tetris game on your Mac terminal? Yes, you hear me right, I am referring to the black, ugly, unglamorous terminal app that you never want to open, and you can play tetris on it. Here’s how:

Open up your Finder and go to Application -> Utilities. Open the Terminal app.

Type emacs. You will see a lot of text. If you don’t understand, just ignore it.

terminal-emacs

Press the ‘escape’ button on your keyboard, follow by ‘X’.

Type ‘tetris’ (in lowercase and without the quote) and press ‘Enter’.

terminal-tetris

Use the arrow keys to move the block left/right and the arrow-up key to change shape. Space to drop the block.

Enjoy!

    Wow, that is just a disgrace to treat Emacs as nothing more than a Tetris machine.
