Very nice! My initial reaction is: it's not giving me the piece I want. It's trying to force you to clear individual lines as soon as it is possible to do so.

Very nice!
My initial reaction is: it's not giving me the piece I want. It's trying to force you to clear individual lines as soon as it is possible to do so. But in real Tetris, you want to clear four lines at a time to get double score, which may mean withholding a line clear when you could have done one.
Consider this replay:
హටເח௨ඞܗТۑටܢݹ௫੬ຽߢ௧ලບঅযلЈǶ
It ends by giving me nothing but S pieces, because it wants me to take the single line clear. It won't stop giving S pieces until I do so. In actuality, any other piece would be preferable; there are available spots for all of them, and I can build up to a Tetris. But with the S piece, my only options are to sacrifice the Tetris for the single line clear, or create a hole in my stack.
- andai 5y agoTetris(Noun) The act of clearing four lines at once (the maximum possible) in Tetris. Somehow went my entire life not knowing that meaning of the word!
- input_sh 5y agoIt depends on the implementation of course, but clearing 4 lines at once usually brings a huge amount of points. For example, NES version at the first "level" (slowest speed): 1 line = 40, 2 lines = 100, 3 lines = 300, 4 lines = 1200. It also increases the speed every 10 lines, so you want to plan accordingly for maximum score. You can get above that first level with either 400 points or 3600. If you have some time to kill, highly recommend this and the follow up video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RaqVGzhQTM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RaqVGzhQTM
- stormbrew 5y agoIn modern ("guideline") tetris T-spins multiline clears tend to actually be the most point-garnering moves. It's a bit weird that the game named tetris went that way but oh well.
- tome 5y ago"Tetris" as in "tetrahedron". mind.equals(blown).
- uhl 5y agoMore like tetris as in Tetromino: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetromino https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetromino
- zwp 5y ago"Tetra" isn't completely unknown in English but perhaps the link is more obvious to Russian-speakers (the original author was Russian)? Is четыре/chetyre a cognate of Greek-derived tetra? https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=ru&text=four https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=ru&text=four
- Twisell 5y agoEnded up exactly in the same situation. Unfortunately didn't thought about replay which is by the way a really nice feature. Two bigs tower and a sad perfect spot to fit a L shape at the base of them :D
- nannal 5y agoThis occurs because the goal of hatris is to stop you scoring any lines so lovetris wants you to get every line, but doesn't allow for tetris.
- Okawari 5y agoI tried to see if I could stack a tetris. Made a 3 wide well, the game would give me L pieces to fill in the single line. Which made it pretty easy to stack up. At some point it gave me a single I piece, which I put in the middle of the 3 deep well. I would either get more I pieces or an L piece which I put in the well, the game would proceed to give me I pieces. ҫටไଈۑටހঅ௧ΧІݶݼق໑অௐRʈঅ௨ఢȵݶԳقฒߢ௨ఢƔݹடٴໃٳɺقຯঐ౬ΟໃƁԈقໄɕலۇȣJலปາஞݫටࠋऐഹටоࡨ௩ѻІԔԥಘϾঀƥقഥಕ௨vІðƐටƚࡨ௨uಸݹறঔໃΥeٯໃҾkقബເवॴຯɛ௨කТ൫ஸڐໃپϢඡಋڝ௨ΣІݞ౻ටࠄঅடڠາɚ௨ౚ༣ݹބقଡɕષقࠄঅटقԀɕ௧uଈݡКʈເŧݸටඨࡖ௨ࡆІܥ౮قଞݸƕقܢઝடٴໃܤƓقฮࡈ௨ඉʑݢ౻ඥСݸ౫ඡಋঅஐٴໃܡవටଥɕஜؿϽߡƗࡕ
- BrandoElFollito 5y agoCould someone please explain what the string after "consider this replay" is? I see a combination of characters loosely looking like some East Asian alphabet, I guess that this is some kind of encoding ?
- dagurp 5y agoTo watch a replay you need to click the replay button and paste this string
- amelius 5y agoIs this base64 but with Arabic chars included?
- spoonjim 5y agoBase2048. An encoding optimized for packing maximum data into a Tweet (which supports 280 characters, but with Unicode support).
- uhl 5y agoThat is fascinating! In particular, base2048 was designed after twitter adjusted the tweet limit to 280 characters, but started counting “heavy” codepoints as double, making the previously used base65536 less efficient in the context of a tweet. See https://github.com/qntm/base2048#readme https://github.com/qntm/base2048#readme
- daniellarusso 5y agoYeah, what about t-spins, too? If it could always set me up for amazing t-spin plays, that would be really enjoyable, I think.
- tomgp 5y agoHa! I just played exactly the same game!
- bonestamp2 5y agoYa, it should be called Onetris.
