Tetris Game implemented as a custom hook

This is a fun project with the sole purpose to learn new things. It is a work in progress. Currently there are some things missing:

1. add levels
2. increase speed (gravitation) for each level
3. simplify current hook using useReducer for the game logic

I've extracted this from another project which you can try here https://florin-cosmin-tetris.netlify.app/

How to use it

npm i use-tetris@latest -E

Then in your JavaScript/TypeScript code:

import React from 'react'
import { render } from 'react-dom'
import { useTetris } from 'use-tetris'

// copied from: https://usehooks-typescript.com/react-hook/use-event-listener
import useEventListener from './use-event-listener'

const TetrisApp: React.FC = () => {
    const {
        tetrisState,
        handleKey
    } = useTetris()

    // listen for keydown events
    useEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
        const keycode = (event as KeyboardEvent).keyCode as keyof typeof browserKeyCodeMap
        const key = browserKeyCodeMap[keycode]

        handleKey(key)
    })

    const { score, grid, piece, nextPiece, gameState } = tetrisState

    return (
        ...
    )
}

render(<TetrisApp />, document.querySelector('#root'))

This project was bootstrapped using tsdx.io
