This is the second part of a series of tutorials on creating a terminal-based Tetris clone with Go.
For a complete implementation of a Tetris clone in Go, see netris.

Matrix
The matrix is typically 10 blocks wide and 20 blocks high.
Matrix data model
A block is an integer representing the contents of a single X-Y coordinate on the matrix.
{{< highlight go >}} type Block int
const ( BlockNone Block = iota BlockSolidBlue BlockSolidCyan BlockSolidRed BlockSolidYellow BlockSolidMagenta BlockSolidGreen BlockSolidOrange ) {{< / highlight >}}
The matrix will be stored as a slice of blocks. The zero-value of Block is a blank space.
The matrix has a width, height and buffer height. The buffer is additional space above the visible playfield.
{{< highlight go >}} type Matrix struct { W int // Width H in // Height B int // Buffer height
M []Block // Contents
}
func NewMatrix(w int, h int, b int) Matrix { m := Matrix{ W: w, H: h, B: b, M: make([]Block, w(h+b)), }
return &m
} {{< / highlight >}}
To retrieve the contents of a point, we calculate its index by multiplying the Y coordinate with the matrix width and adding the X coordinate.
{{< highlight go >}} func I(x int, y int, w int) int { if x < 0 || x >= w || y < 0 { log.Panicf("failed to retrieve index for %d,%d width %d: invalid coordinates", x, y, w) }
return (y * w) + x
}
func (m *Matrix) Block(x int, y int) Block { if y >= m.H+m.B { log.Panicf("failed to retrieve block at %d,%d: invalid y coordinate", x, y) }
index := I(x, y, m.W)
return m.M[index]
} {{< / highlight >}}
