I'm sorry for your bad experience. "Undo and redo" shortcut don't seem to work, but the clickable undo and redo button at the top left work. It's a quick project which arose from curiosity : "what would happen if the hateful AI tried to do the opposite". This AI does its best to always provide you some outs to the limit of its abilities. You have plenty of freedom to guide the game into interesting landscape while ha…

I think all that's needed here is a note on the website clarifying that you're getting the best piece to complete a line right now, and that this will frustrate anyone looking to set up for a tetris.

Thanks, I added some notes to not disappoint new players.

Also, I’m not saying it’s a problem to tweak someone’s open source project, I only take issue with presenting it as your own, with such a minimal change.

If you want attribution, require it in the licence.

Maybe I’m not being clear. I’m talking about _etiquette_. Not licenses or laws.

I’m not saying it’s illegal, I’m saying it’s bad form.

This is hanging on the edge of being "I don't like it or disagree with it, therefore it is bad"

You could say that. Most discussions outside science lans and courts of laws are about opinions, not objective facts.

This version didn't exist until GistNoesis flipped the sign, so no, it's not. This gets to a larger philosophy of open source: we should encourage people to fork when they want to iterate on someone else's work, however minor that iteration may be. This is open source working as intended.

If you take something that took hours to build and (as is claimed) spend 1 minute modifying it, you absolutely have no right to claim it’s “by” you. I think everyone except you agrees on that.

Thanks for the remark.

There already was a link on the github readme to give credit to the original hatetris (MIT licensed).

In addition I have added some link to qtnm hatetris on the play page, too.

Did you give an open source license to your project? I think some licenses have better attribution requirements than others.

I didn’t publish it at all, I’m just thinking hypothetically here!

Good idea! If more thought hypothetically about the consequences of various licenses I think it would be a good thing.

In retrospect some of my projects might have more liberal WTFPL on them where I really don't care if someone else said they did it, but others I would want more recognition and more copy left for their changes. (I think some of my bigger projects side with the copy left and the smaller with the liberal.)

Is this base64 but with Arabic chars included?

Base2048. An encoding optimized for packing maximum data into a Tweet (which supports 280 characters, but with Unicode support).

I remember downloading binaries from Usenet using uudecode. Looks like Twitter is the new Usenet.

as someone who has an ocd need to get the 4 line tetris clear this triggers me

Please do not trivialize having OCD like that- In reality, it's a debilitating disorder characterized by severe compulsions.

Or use the word “trigger” to mean mere annoyance. It is tragic that people with a hatred of people living with conditions like PTSD and epilepsy have turned that word into a joke. (I guess most people who use that word now are unaware of this history.) I know people who experience actual triggers and it's a very painful thing.

> Or use the word “trigger” to mean mere annoyance

To be clear, the people that took away meaning from this word were the people that added "trigger warnings" to the most trivial of things. "trigger warning: meat eating." "trigger warning: bad words."

> It is tragic that people with a hatred of people living with conditions like PTSD and epilepsy have turned that word into a joke

That's really not what's happening.

There's nothing even slightly interesting about "Tetris which always gives you the best piece". The algorithm is as simple as can be: always give the long piece. This is doing something different, which can't be described by the given blurb.

The board is ten cells wide so if you always get the long piece then it takes four pieces to make a line. Lovetris gives you two long pieces and then an S[1] which means you can make a line in three pieces. That's the sense in which Lovetris is "better" than your proposed algorithm.

[1] if you lie the two long pieces horizontally next to each other against the left wall

The Hatetris code doesn’t appear to have an open source license, or any license, so it isn’t open source. This use of the code is a clear legal breach of copyright, in the absence of specific agreement with the copyright holder. (On the Hatetris page, the author declines someone’s request to use the code elsewhere)

I'm not sure I deserve to be so downvoted for this, considering this clarification came after my comment ;(
