Our game program needs to know how each of the shapes are shaped, including for all of their possible rotations. In order to do this, we will create lists of lists of strings. The inner list of strings will represent a single rotation of a shape, like this:

['.....',
 '.....',
 '..OO.',
 '.OO..',
 '.....']

We will write the rest of our code so that it interprets a list of strings like the one above to represent a shape where the periods are empty spaces and the O’s are boxes, like this:
