Alt Control Tetris

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a new way to play Tetris, made as an university project, where you have to maneuver real life pieces to change the In-game pieces.

We were able to make this possible by using computer vision (with processing) to capture the player moving  the game piece and simulating the appropriate rotation.

To create this version of Tetris you will need:

- The 7 original pieces in whatever material you want (we used cardboard)

- 1 Computer with Tetris

-1 Camera connected to the computer or webcam

After recreating the Tetris pieces you need to select two points of each piece and paint a big dot red or blue in opposite ends of the piece. Each piece should have painted a red dot and a blue dot. Make sure that these dots are all on the same side. These dots need to be about the same size, very visible and the color must be saturated. In our case we used LED lights instead of paint.

After that all you need to do is open a Tetris game in your computer and have the program running at the same time as the game . You should be able to control any piece
