Basic Terms

Most of the time, players don't know the exact appelation standard and TGM have interesting specification. To avoid confusion we will list here the basic.

Block

---

The Block is the smallest square shape in TGM.

Tetrimino

---

4 blocks arranged into a shape give the tetrimino. There is 7 differents tetriminos, each one with a specific color. For concise description we are always refering to them by a single letter instead of color. Tetriminos are often also called "piece" or "tetra" and sometimes "block" (as show on 2ch.net) but for this last appelation it can be confusing.

I, L, J, S, Z, T and O tetriminos.

Tetrion

---

Sometimes called the "outfit Frame" or more simply the "box that surround the game". Certainly you have never hear about this word but this is the official name given by the TTC. You will also never use it but i just mension it for avoiding confusion with the next definition.
