It would probably be easier to code it yourself rather than port
someone else's source

generate a random piece
display it
allow it to rotate
make it fall
check for collision with walls/ floor
   check for solid line
     remove it if found

there are only 7 possible shapes, (check wikipedia it has a TON of
information)


the most difficult problem will be display and collision detection.
the rest of the code should be very similar between different systems.
