Motivation

After watching Meth Meth Method's video I was inspired to create a similar game for the following reasons:

1. To try my hand at making a game using functional programming methodologies.
2. To try out some JS tools that I hadn't used before
3. I thought it would be fun to make up crazy custom shapes and/or game modes.

Some of the tools I used:

• redux for state management
• reselect for memoized selectors
• react for component rendering
• Ducks for module organization
• AVA for unit tests and nyc for code coverage
• lodash for numerous utility functions
• random-seed to create a deterministic game mode (where every game is the same order of pieces)
• pressed for detecting key presses in update loop (I created this library for this project)
• babel, webpack, standard (code style)
• ES6
