Tetris doesn't have a story. The goal of the game is to stack blocks in as quickly as possible. For each row that has no opening it will be cleared and points will be awarded.

The intro for this game is the logo for tetris then a fade to the menu.

The menu will consist of the title for the game “Tetris” at the top. In the middle will be all of the high scores for the game and at the bottom will be the play button. The play button will be able to be activated by either the left mouse click or the enter key.

Describe in detail how the control system will work and how the user can change it.

Describe the background music and event sounds that will need to be created. Also, discuss any voice acting that needs to take place.

This is the in-game camera view. Identify where it is to be placed: first person, second person, third person, or side. Also, describe how the camera moves within the environment.
