| The project is structured around a primary ''.ino'' sketch file which contains the core state machine, the ''setup()'', and the ''loop()'' functions. By leveraging the Arduino IDE's automatic prototype generation and tab system, the codebase is kept organized without the need for complex makefiles or manual dependency linking, allowing for rapid iteration of game logic and hardware testing. | The project is structured around a primary ''.ino'' sketch file which contains the core state machine, the ''setup()'', and the ''loop()'' functions.

| Adafruit_GFX.h & Adafruit_PCD8544.h: These libraries handle the low-level communication with the Nokia 5110 display. They provide primitive drawing functions (pixels, lines, rectangles) and text rendering, which saves significant development time on the graphical engine. | Adafruit_GFX.h & Adafruit_PCD8544.h: These libraries handle the low-level communication with the Nokia 5110 display.

| Matrix Overlay Checking: Used in Tetris to mathematically project the 4x4 array of a falling block onto the 10x20 boolean game board array. If any active bits in the piece array overlap with an active bit on the board array or cross the boundary limits, a collision is flagged. | Matrix Overlay Checking: Used in Tetris to mathematically project the 4x4 array of a falling block onto the 10x20 boolean game board array.
