Question for you, but first I just want to say thanks! The technology is awesome. That Tetris game is that a command line thing? If so what library are you using to manipulate the console? I've wanted to create interactive command line utilities with the JVM for a long time and it's always been not supported.

that's this tetris: https://github.com/kt97679/tetris/blob/master/Tetris.java https://github.com/kt97679/tetris/blob/master/Tetris.java ncurses I think. There's an issue with how jconsole and tetris work together, so when tetris exits, jshell does too.

It's a Linux-only trick: https://github.com/kt97679/tetris/blob/52dfb3a703e4dd5b379902ecbe30b9dfd45fdef1/Tetris.java#L45 https://github.com/kt97679/tetris/blob/52dfb3a703e4dd5b37990...

    The commandline buffers input by default, because it starts in "cooked" mode. That line turns off buffering so that keypresses can immediately be read, by putting it into "raw" mode.
