Source code for a newbie...

I believe there is an unofficial ban on replying to posts like this one, but I will anyway. If you just know the basics of C++, are you still doing console apps? If you can program a basic windows app that makes "Hello World" (just plain black text) bounce around the window, maybe you are ready to begin DirectX. If you are doing console apps, I can''t help you, but there are those around who still know the age-old art of console programming. As for the code, you would need to know the API to get more than a rudimentary understanding of it. I can''t supply tetris code because I skipped that programming phase... I went from Pong to a particle system to an RTS. You should go get a good book on DirectX, or, if you want to take the less-useful-in-the-future approach, a book on the Windows GDI. If you can blt a colored square to the screen, you are about 2 steps away from tetris .
