 This Tetris implementation consists of a hardware and a software (running on that hardware).
 
 The hardware utilizes four MSP430 microcontrollers for 1.) the game play, 2.) the play ground canvas, 3.) the score display and 4.) the sound effects.

 The clock generator proposed by the AY-3-8913 does not work reliably, so an alternative design from "The Art of Electronics" has been used.
