I'm planning the Tetris layout: a 10x20 game board with 30px cells, plus a side panel for score, lines, level, next-piece preview, and controls. I'm defining the standard tetromino shapes and working out the clockwise rotation logic for the matrices. I need to work out the game mechanics: spawn positioning and collision checks for game over, a 7-bag randomizer for piece order, level-based gravity speed, soft/hard drop scoring, and line-clear scoring tied to level. I'm also planning pause/restart controls with keyboard handling, and a game-over overlay triggered when a spawned piece immediately collides. Writing shape definitions and constants... I'm defining the board state and piece rotation logic, with a clockwise rotation function that remaps matrix cells and a collision checker that validates boundaries and existing filled cells, then handling piece spawning with centered horizontal placement. For the game loop, I'm setting up a 7-bag randomizer for piece selection with a lookahead queue, plus the locking logic that writes a piece into the board, clears completed rows, and tracks score before spawning the next piece. Move and rotate functions check collisions before committing, with simple wall-kick offsets planned for rotation. I'll decide to keep rotation strict and reject blocked moves rather than add kicks, matching the spec's "legal" requirement. Gravity ticks drive pieces downward and lock them on collision, soft drop adds score per cell and locks immediately if blocked, and hard drop computes the full fall distance for a bigger score bonus before locking. Pausing halts gravity and ignores most input, game over stops everything, and rendering draws the board, active piece, and a next-piece preview. I'm planning restart logic to fully reset state (board, score, lines, level, bag, queue, flags) and having the game start immediately on load rather than requiring a start button. Keyboard controls map Left/Right/Up/Down/Space plus pause, relying on native key-repeat for movement, and I'll surface game status via text and expose score/lines/level/next-piece elements for easy inspection. I'm setting gravity speed to scale with level, starting around 800ms and decreasing as level increases, then writing the drawing code for cells and borders before testing in the browser.

I spot a bug where Space triggers hardDrop twice—once in the switch statement and again in a separate check right after. I need to remove the duplicate call so hard drop only fires once per keypress.
Before testing, I spotted a bug: Space triggers `hardDrop()` twice, once in the switch and again in the trailing `if`. That would drop the newly spawned piece too. Fixing it now.

I see the T piece spawned at the top with J as the next preview, so I want to verify the game logic by scripting key presses for movement, rotation, and hard drop, then checking the state through the exposed window object to confirm the preview advances correctly. I'm also double-checking that spacebar key detection works properly, and noting the T piece's spawn orientation has an empty top row.
The first frame shows a T piece at the top with J as the next piece, and no console errors apart from a harmless sandbox warning. Next I'll run the move, rotate, and hard-drop sequence and read the game state.

I'm tracking the piece's position after it moved left and rotated, trying to pin down its new column coordinates based on the pixel offsets in the screenshot. Verification is limited since the browser tool keeps returning similar images, so I'll move forward with a hard drop test and check the resulting screenshot, then wrap up efficiently with one more round.
The left move and clockwise rotation both took effect: the T moved from columns 3–5 to columns 2–4, then rotated to point right. Next I'll hard-drop it and check that it locks and the next piece spawns.

I'm examining the screenshot to figure out which pieces have locked onto the board already—it looks like the T piece settled near column 3, and there's a blue piece at the bottom I need to identify next. The current piece is now the yellow O at the top with red Z shown as the next preview, confirming the piece queue advanced properly, and gravity ran in real time while I was making tool calls, which explains why multiple pieces locked in. Hard drop scoring looks consistent with that. I still need to verify pause and restart functionality, so I'll click pause and take a screenshot, then test restart afterward.
The hard drop worked: the purple T locked at the bottom, a yellow O spawned at the top, and the preview now shows the red Z. The stacks below came from gravity during the earlier calls. Next I'll check pause and restart.

Pause works, but the overlay text wraps awkwardly since the small label isn't set to display block. I'll fix that CSS and restart the check by clicking resume.
Pause works and freezes the board. The overlay subtitle is running inline with the title, so I'll make it a block element. Then I'll resume and test Restart.

Restarting clears the board and resets score and level correctly. I'm checking the next-piece preview positioning, verifying the I-piece is centered properly within the canvas bounds without overflowing.
Restart works: the board, score, lines, and level all reset. The next-piece preview is off-center, though. The extra `+1` offset pushes the I piece to the right edge, so I'll remove it.

The preview looks reasonably centered now. I should give an honest report noting I haven't verified line clears, game over state, level-up, or the 7-piece sequence, and that the earlier stack in the screenshot came from gravity rather than confirmed clearing logic.
The game is written to `/tmp/job-LEFAKu/index.html` as a single self-contained file with inline CSS and JS and no external resources. **What I checked in the browser:** - **Initial render:** The board, score/lines/level panel, next-piece preview, controls, and Pause/Restart buttons all appear, with no errors beyond a harmless sandbox warning. - **Move and rotate:** Left moved the T piece one column, and Up rotated it clockwise. - **Hard drop:** Space locked the piece at the bottom, scored 30 points, spawned a new O piece, and advanced the preview from J to Z. - **Pause:** The button froze the board and showed a PAUSED overlay. - **Restart:** It cleared the board and reset score, lines, and level to 0/0/1. **Fixes made during testing:** - Space was triggering a hard drop twice, which would have dropped the freshly spawned piece as well. I removed the duplicate. - The pause overlay subtitle ran inline with the title. I made it a block element. - The next-piece preview was offset one cell right. I corrected it, and the I-piece now sits centered. **Not verified:** - Resume after pause (the Resume button was not clicked in a separate check). - Row clearing, line-based scoring (100/300/500/800 × level), and the level increase every 10 lines. - Soft drop and gravity timing. - Game Over when a piece cannot spawn. - That all seven tetrominoes appear, though the 7-bag randomizer should produce each one. - Wall and stack collision rejection beyond the basic moves above. Hold and ghost pieces are not implemented, as the spec allows.
