A buddy -- Craig -- of mine ported Tetris to X while at MIT.
Another buddy -- Randy -- wrote Tetrimatic, which intercepted the X events to figure out the board state and was, effectively, a robot that played Tetris.
For a while Tetrimatic was tearing up the high scores board.
If I remember right, Craig kept himself off the board, because in play testing, he'd gotten very, very good. And it didn't seem fair. He compiled a hacked version for himself that played at the highest level, but doubled the speed. It was crazy watching him play.
What I don't remember was if Craig decided to top the Tetrimatic robot on the high scores board.
Now I'm missing college...
