I'd like to upvote this with all my heart, but: I wanted to browse the source with no downloading (ala Github so to speak), nope. Ok, let's follow this link to a zip file: http://jordan.trudgett.com/tetris_73.zip http://jordan.trudgett.com/tetris_73.zip . 404. oh c'mon.

  I agree, if you are showcasing code, it should be easy to view. Ideally without even having to download anything by letting people view it on Github.

  Agreed. Who puts code on Hostgator and not Github?

  not to be snarky but adding a few comments wouldn't have increased the LOC (I'm aware that okal is not the author)

This doesn't impress me at all. Python code is supposed to look sexy, and it does, when well-written. A code of 73 lines with inlined semi-collons is no better than a 200 lines code. In fact, the 200 lines is better if one wants to understand the code. import pygame,time,random,sys,copy,os;from pygame.locals import ;t2=0;nor=0;pg=pygame;pd=pg.display;cdc=copy.deepcopy;pc=[[[1,1],[1,1]],[[1,0],[1,0],[1,1]],[[0,1],[0,1],[1,1]],[[1],[1],[1],[1]],[[0,1,1],[1,1,0]],[[1,1,0],[0,1,1]],[[1,1,1],[0,1,0]]];cols=[(0,0,0),(100,100,100),(10,100,225),(0,150,220),(0,220,150),(60,200,10),(180,210,5),(210,180,10),(100,200,170)];pg.init();pd.set_mode((320,240),FULLSCREEN);sk=pd.get_surface();f=[[1]+[0 for x in range(8)]+[1] for x in range(19)]+[[1 for x in range(10)]];of=cdc(f);s=12;brt=Rect((100,0,s,s));b=-1;p=[];lc=[-9,0];t=0;bt=60;pg.key.set_repeat(200,100);rh=0;cr=[];crs=pg.Surface((8s,s));crs.fill((255,0,0));crs.set_alpha(100);gv=-1;z=pg.font.Font("c.ttf",14);_=0;pg.mixer.music.load("t.ogg");pg.mixer.music.play(-1) Is that a proper line of code? No.

  > A code of 73 lines with inlined semi-collons is no better than a 200 lines code You mean: a program of 73 lines with inlined semi-colons is no better than a 200 lines program Code is a mass noun (as is software, BTW). Program is a count noun.

    Indeed, I actually thought about not using 'code' while typing, but then just thought "it shouldn't matter.".

    As long as we're on a grammar correction theme, "... a 200 line program".
- zokier 15y ago
  Well, it expands to 155 lines when newlines are inserted in "normal" places (replacing semi-colons and after if statements mostly). Which is still imho fairly neat.

If one is going to deface one's Python by minifying it, it should at least be done properly: I can count at least 8 places where 2 lines can be compressed into 1, like if not t%5: gv-=1;f[9-gv]=[1]*10;f[10+gv]=[1]*10;t=1 and while c+lc[0]<1: lc[0]+=1 So the title could be "Tetris in 65 lines of Python"!

Tetris in one line of BASIC: http://survex.com/~olly/rheolism/dsm_rheolism/ http://survex.com/~olly/rheolism/dsm_rheolism/ (This is BBC BASIC V as found on the Acorn Archimedes machines from way back when. Don't expect it to work in, say, Visual Basic.) The description calls it "a Tetris-like game". I don't now remember how it diverges from strict Tetris (and don't have a machine handy on which I can check). I think it's very close.

I wrote this in 2008 (when I was 17) while I was bored. Check out nanosnake on the pygame website, it's better :P
