(yet again) Falling Blocks

This is a “falling blocks” game (see Tetris or Columns) developed from scratch in a weekend to learn about Pyglet.

The mechanics are pretty much like in Columns, although blocks can’t be matched in diagonal (making the game a little bit more difficult).

If a joystick / gamepad is present it will be used instead of the keyboard.
