Tetris by Tomy

Description
Picture two screens of the classic video game Tetris, one of them upside down, that have been merged at the top. When a line is completed, the line doesn't disappear. Instead, the frontier between the two screens is moved so one gains space at the expense of the other. Such was the board game adaptation of Tetris by Tomy.

On your turn:
* Press the button to roll the board's inner die.
* Take the piece decided by that roll.
* Put the piece on your side of the board.
* If you complete a line, move the frontier toward your opponent.

The more lines you complete in a single turn, the faster your advance:
* 1 completed line --> the frontier moves 1 line.
* 2 completed lines --> the frontier moves 3 lines.
* 3 completed lines --> the frontier moves 5 lines.
* 4 completed lines --> the frontier moves 7 lines.

If you move the frontier into the pieces of your opponent, or if you leave your opponent without enough space for a new piece, victory is yours! The board also includes a victory counter.

This mod uses Stab Master Arson's version of the pieces:

It originally used TheRaven81's tetrominos:

This mod also uses a couple of NETes' wood tokens:

@Miillstone85: I used the tetronimos from this mod for my new module, Brikks.

@Millstone85: Thank you, this makes the game far more playable.

The mod now uses pieces with easy physics. I also added two little lights near the button that switch colors whenever the button is pressed, so you know something happened even if the new piece is the same as the last.

Good presentation, but the physics and hitboxes of the tetronimoes make this really difficult to play. It seems like it'd work fine IRL, but in TTS I'd recommend having flat cards shaped like the tetronimoes instead.

The die for rolling what block you get is probably a good recreation of the real thing, but I feel like it'd be better to stick all the tetronimoes in a bag and shake them up instead, as the die doesn't give the clearest feedback when you roll two of the same piece.

The frontier should move 6 times for 3 lines and 10 times for 4 lines.
