How to deploy Tetris on IBM Cloud

In order to show you how to deploy your first application on IBM I cloned this Node.js project from this repository. It is a Tetris multiplayer game you can run on web. I moved the code in the public folder and added some files required for IBM Cloud integration.

Instructions to deploy Multiplayer Tetris on IBM Cloud

Create an account on IBM Cloud. For demo purpose you can use the Lite pricing model that
allow you to work for free. The limit is that the application will be removed after 10 days on development inactivity. On Lite pricing model you cannot choice a region different by the one associated to the default space of your account.
Use "MultiplayerTetris" as application name, "multiplayertetris" as host name. Domain, region, organization and space are set by default. Press the Create button.
Download and install IBM Cloud CLI as explained here.
