Tetris with Auto-Play

How it works

The script creates a grid-based Tetris game using custom data types to manage game state. It defines a grid structure with dimensions and a one-dimensional array to simulate a two-dimensional board. Tetromino pieces are represented by a custom type tracking rotation, position, and type.

The algorithm includes collision detection functions to prevent pieces from overlapping or moving outside grid boundaries. A heuristic AI evaluates potential piece placements by analyzing column heights, line clearance potential, and board complexity. Pieces are dropped at set intervals, with the game progressing automatically until a game-over condition is reached

Why it may be useful

This implementation showcases the powerful scripting capabilities of Pine Script™ by transforming a trading platform into an interactive game environment. It demonstrates complex algorithmic logic, state management, and visual rendering within a financial charting context.

The script proves that trading platforms can be extended beyond traditional analysis tools, offering creative approaches to displaying data and implementing game-like mechanics. It highlights the potential for innovative programming techniques in financial technology and provides an engaging example of algorithmic problem-solving

When to explore it

This Tetris indicator is primarily a demonstration of programming capabilities rather than a practical trading tool. It works best as an educational example for Pine Script™ developers looking to understand advanced scripting techniques.

Developers can use this as a reference for implementing complex state management, collision detection, and algorithmic decision-making. It's particularly useful for learning how to create interactive elements within trading platforms, manage persistent game states, and render visual elements using TradingView's table objects
