How to settle an an image in Applet for tetris gam

Question

I developing tetris game using applets. I have generated random shapes and making it move. But i don't know how to make it settle at the bottom. My shapes are vanishing once it reaches the end of the screen. Please help me on this regard. Here goes my code.

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;



public class TetrisGame
{
    public static void main (String argsp[])
    {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Tetris");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        final AppletClass applet = new AppletClass();
        frame.getContentPane().add(applet);
        applet.init();
        Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable()
        {

            @Override
            public void run() 
            {
                while(true)
                {
                    try 
                    {
                        Thread.sleep(1000);
                        applet.repaint();
                    }
                    catch (InterruptedException e) 
                    {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }               
                }
            }

        });
        t.start();

        frame.setBounds(10,10,410,610);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

Your code only draws a single block. You must store the coordinates of all generated block and redraw them at every game frame.
