Sounds like you don't have the current directory in your $PATH. Check with
echo $PATH
and see if '.' features in it. If not then that's the problem. On the
flip side this is a feature on a system that's used by multiple users
as you're unlikely to run a command you don't want when exploring
your directory tree. Things like sl (or even ls if you make the
current directory first in the path) scripts can be created to remove
stuff or be destructive otherwise.
If you don't want to put in '.' into the path (as I don't) then type
./tetris
instead of
tetris
Have fun. :)
