Ross C: Almost, but 'true' Tetris will let you rotate your block even if doing so would put part of it outside of either the left or right-hand wall, it will move the block left or right in order to rotate it, unless there are 1's in the play-area ;)
Many people miss this part out, which is why their Tetris game is not quite as good as the original.
Possibly the most graphically and sonically pleasing of 2D Tetris clones was on the Amiga. I can't remember the name of it, but your blocks moved very smoothly, instead of 'jumping' like they do in my code. Any collisions resulted in a nice little 'chink' sound, made you feel the blocks were made of marble or something :)
