Bloodporne Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I've been playing Tetris a lot since I've been on several flights the past week and I just can't let this go. Maybe a stupid question since I don't know anything about game development but how does Tetris determine which blocks come down the pipe next? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!?

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 It depends on the version of Tetris you're playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is most certainly every single version of Tetris I've ever laid my hands on, no doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 In the settings, there is a question “Do you stand or sit to wipe?” If you answer stand, you get a ton of lines. You say sit, you get z and square blocks. Pajitnov is a known stander and hates sitters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes Tetris an even more impressive achievement seeing how he's clearly mentally challenged in that case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do something with the line around 4 minutes in and I think THAT'S what happens, @Bloodporne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
