Why
I'm keeping thinking to integrate ScratchJr with games, and after seeing the movie TETRIS, I realized that I can do that with tetris. The standard board of tetris is 10x20 with 7 blocks. To simplify it, I reduce the size to 5x10 and 6x10, then the I block is too long, so I reduced its length to 3. Although it looks like simpler than the standard edition. But it is not because of limited space and you can't make many mistakes. Then I add a special block which can fill any place. Because of the small size stage, the game can be played by on a same iPad with multiple players up to 4. The DotPad 320 is 10x30, so it can be also displayed on DotPad 320 and not too complicated.
