The multi-platform TETRIS game designed for text terminals.

Hi there 👋

I am a seasoned IT professional with over 30 years of experience in software development and related fields. I have a strong passion for technology, which began in the mid-eighties with programming on ZX Spectrum and PDP-11 compatible microcomputers. Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Software Engineer, Tech Lead, Project Manager, Software Architect, Delivery Manager, and DevOps. My expertise lies in Pre-sales, Analysis, Decomposition, Estimations, building Architectures, and Deployments, as well as being familiar with the full SDLC in practice.

As a community-focused individual, I have created and led several local IT initiatives, such as establishing a local IT Museum and an IT Hub. Additionally, I developed a mentoring program within my current company, which I continue to oversee. My interests lie in researching new technologies, R&D, and engaging in challenging projects and experiments.

I am seeking opportunities in the following positions: CTO, Researcher (R&D), DevRel, or Engineering Manager. My passion for technology drives me to continually innovate and contribute to the IT industry.

Nice repo! Offering Error Handling

Hi Andrew! copied your repo for inspiration.
Thank you

Here go a couple of observations:
0) Can't submit pull request nor create new branch due to missing permission :)

1. If delay before Hosted Service Stop is introduced to actually see GameCopyright and if Ctrl+C is pressed while playing then player continues to see the game running during that delay.

2. Offering error handling as following
   TetrisService.cs:
   public async Task StopAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
   {
   await IO.ClearAsync(cancellationToken);
   await IO.OutAsync(0, Constants.ScreenHeight, Strings.GameCopyright, cancellationToken);
   // await Task.Delay(2000); // this would throw exception
   Thread.Sleep(2000);
   }
   Program.cs:
   ....
   try
   {
   await host.RunTerminalAsync(options =>
   {
   options.Title = nameof(Tetris);
   options.SuppressStatusMessages = true;
   }, cancellationTokenSource.Token);
   }
   catch (OperationCanceledException ex)
   {
   // Expected after the worker performs:
   // StopAsync(cancellationToken);
   // cancellationToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
   }
