I am new to programming. This is my first pyweek entry and my first time writing a game.

Code
You can download and track my progress here:  https://github.com/illy0311/Udacitris 

(I am learning to use GitHub, IRC, BitBucket and the Python shell among others.)

Summary
The game is called Udacitris, which is made of the words Udacious + Tetris, paying respect to Udacity where I learned the very basics of Python.

The game is a Tetris clone where I plan to place a picture of a Scientist on each block of Tetris.

I am using pygame and the source code for Tetris from Invent with Python: http://inventwithpython.com/pygame/chapters/

My current agenda:

Block formation
- add image of (Mad) Scientist

Level up
- add badge which is the image of a (Mad) Scientist

Overall goal
- my goal in participating in pyweek is to learn python better 
- gain familiarity with development tools, community, and best practices
- learn something about gaming
- play a lot of Tetris
