SedTris - a Tetris game written in sed.

I've seen irc clients written in sed and I've seen a lot of sed magic in my time, but this is just ridiculous...

    Not as ridiculous as GPL cola (OpenCola).

    $ sed sedtris.sed
    sed: -e expression #1, char 11: unterminated `s' command

    Works fine for me :-). You're doing it wrong.

    % chmod + x sedtris.sed
    % ./sedtris.sed
    Enter
    Enter..
    And see the instructions on screen :-)

    You can try to use this shell script to stop pressing Enter and enjoy the game.

    :[

    $ ./sedtris.sh
    sed: command garbled: s/[^~]*~$/&&&/

    That's a GNU sed script, it will not work with AIX sed or Solaris sed (UNIX sed), it needs gsed.
    On AIX for example:

    ./sedtris.sed
    sed: 0602-404 Function s/[^~]*~$/&&&/ cannot be parsed.

    Replaced the first line with:
    #!/opt/freeware/bin/sed -nf
    (this is GNU sed)

    And it works.
