I decided to have another look at the tetris code that I gave up on a short while ago. Good news is that I have squished the bugs, no I can actually play tetris with it.
Bad news is I wasn't able to include the preview of the next shape. This is where the mega bugs creep in.
Anyway I'm happy enough with how far I got with it and you can actually play it.

Screeny:



Clearly I still need to get my basic coding sorting, so I'm steaming ahead with the c++ workshop 1st project. Which isn't quite as straight forward as I thought it would be, but it's a suitable level for me I think.
