After playing Hatetris https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27063894 yesterday on HN,

I decided I would rather have the AI on my side so I forked the site and flipped a sign.

If your life feels like Hatetris, Lovetris will bring you comfort.

Enjoy :)

If all you’ve done is flip a sign, it’s a little disingenuous to say “by GistNoesis“.

In a way, I got just as frustrated (well maybe not _as_ frustrated) as playing hatetris, because I couldn't easily make 4 line combos. That is, until I managed to set up endless straight pieces and stack the rest of the board save that one slot.

I got two long pieces, laid them down side by side, and was hoping for another one so I could start getting set up for a tetris, but all I got was garbage Z pieces forevermore, which were the absolute worst piece for me to get.

Started a new game. Put the long piece vertically against a side wall. Got an S piece. Whhhhyyyyyyyyyyy?

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.

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.

What .... That is exactly what happened to my wife when I sent her the link just now. "Here honey, this ought to be relaxing" and boom, two long pieces and then a Z piece army.

I appreciate a free game but is this one of those abusive research projects?

Edit: Undo and redo don't work here either
