Just copy the scripts source code and save it as a regular text file, set execution rights and execute it. For example:

Save source text to file "mytetris", then:

Code:
$ chmod 754 ./mytetris
$ ./mytetris

I hope this helps.

Try downloading the tarball, or make sure you copy-pasted everything (within the code block) from the first page.
Runs well on my machine.

If you run it it sh ./scriptname, and if it still fails, what is the output of:
Code:
ls -l /bin/sh

, if its redirecting somewhere else than bash, you'll need to call the script using:
Code:
bash ./scriptname

It seems to use a floating point e.g. 0.1 for sleep; that works only with GNU sleep.
