You mean as opposed to any other kind of program which might use pointers?

C++ didn't include pointers just for the sake of writing tetris, there are many other uses as well.

Pointers are a very common feature of the C++ programming language. They're going to exist in just about every real world programming app that you write. Your question is just like saying "How do I write Tetris in C++ using variables?"
