lilz (pronounced "lil-zee") is a program that plays tetris. This was started as a programming exercise with the following goals:

• utilize and manipulate an existing Java program
• learn clojure
• get familiar with basic artificial intelligence concepts

1. Install Leiningen

2. I used Per Cederberg's Java Tetris. I was unable to find a public repository for the .jar file so I use a local version. On Ubuntu, after installing Maven and downloading tetris.jar, the following command will satisfy Leiningen's tetris dependency:

   $ mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=net.percederberg -DartifactId=tetris -Dversion=1.2.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/tetris.jar

3. From the lilz/ directory:

   $ lein deps

The simple thing to do is created a standalone .jar file that includes all the dependencies. This takes a longer time to build but allows for simple execution:

$ lein uberjar
$ java -jar lilz-*-standalone.jar

This is great for creating a distributable file but for development I prefer to create a .jar which only contains the lilz project and then link to the dependent libraries:

$ lein jar
$ java -cp $CLOJURE_EXT/clojure.jar:/path/to/tetris.jar:./lilz-*.jar lilz.core

I don't know too much about licensing but Java Tetris is distributed under the GNU GPL. I hope I'm not violating anything by distributing this code under the same license.
