Default layout but with a tetris game

Tetris works by outputting key-presses to make ascii-art in a regular text editor. It reads key presses to rotate and move the bricks like a regular tetris game.

Example

Usage

Open a default text editor
Press the tetris button (Fn + t)
Play tetris

It makes ascii-art by sending keycodes: left, right, up, down, qwerty characters, and numbers.

Problems

Drawing ascii-art is too slow to make a pleasant playing experience. While drawing ascii-art, the keyboard does not record key-presses, so its pretty unresponsive.

Adds 5000 bytes to the hex file.

Implement in other keyboards

Copy-paste the files tetris_text.c and tetrix_text.h to your keymap folder.
Add/update your-keyboard/your-keymap/Makefile to include SRC = tetris_text.c
Copy-paste the tetris-related code from this keymap.c to yours.
Set a key to trigger F(1) to start tetris mode.
Its also a good idea to set a key to stop tetris, here its escape.
