Our game is close to being complete -- or at least complete enough that it can be fun to play.  All that remains is removing full rows (since filling rows is the object of Tetris) and keeping score.
 

Writing removeFullRows:
This method will iterate a variable, oldRow, from the bottom to the top of the board (that is, from this.rows-1 to 0).  It will also start another variable, newRow, at the bottom of the board.  Each oldRow that is not full is copied to the newRow, which is then decremented by one.  Each oldRow that is full is not copied, and the fullRows counter is incremented.  At the end, the rows on top are cleared (set to emptyColor) as necessary
 

Note that there is a very common mistake here:  instead of copying a row element-by-element, you might simply assign the oldRow into the newRow as such:
       board[newRow] = board[oldRow];  // WRONG!!!
While it is possible to make this approach work (and it can even be more efficient than the approach described above), it is almost universally a source of bugs and confusion.  You will likely end up with two or more rows in your board referencing the same array!  This leads to very confusing situations, but now you know to expect it and to avoid it!
 

Now that we are removing rows, we should keep score.  To do that, we will introduce an instance variable "score" (which is set to zero in the resetGame method).  In our removeFullRows method, we will increment the score by the square of total number of full rows removed in order to reward removing multiple lines at once.  And now that we are keeping score, we should display the score, which involves adding a method paintScore, which is called by paint.
 

We're basically done now, but seeing how easy it is at this point (using JComponentWithEvents), we'll add a MIDI soundtrack for our game.  This can be done with two lines of code.  First, at the end of resetGame, add:
  loop("tetris.mid");  // play tetris.mid in a loop
Then, in the timerFired method, when it sets this.isGameOver to true, add this line:
  stopSounds();
Note that the file "tetris.mid" is included with these notes.
