Enhancement ideas

[harry-wood]

Did you see tint was featured here: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/06/play-tetris-terminal-linux I came across that and installed it just now. I like it!

But there's some enhancement ideas on there which I'd agree with:

• 'preview' of the next block to fall
• option to pause the game
• arrow key to rotate (Up arrow I suppose)
• arrow speed up blocks (rather than just instant drop I suppose)

I don't have much time to work on this. It's presence here is something of a means of holding onto it so it doesn't get lost. I'm not the original author.

It's not that hard to hack in your own preferences. For example:

diff --git a/tint.c b/tint.c
index 83fe608..1a99b03 100644
