It would be great if there was an in-between version with a timer (or countdown) that alternates between Lovetris and Hateris. Still a bit far from the randomness of the real Tetris but would enable quite some strategies..

Relatris, it starts with infatuation and ends in divorce.

I mean, Hatetris probably wasn't using the Tetris trademarks properly, right? Aren't both just remix culture?

Morally? I suppose if you squint hard enough. Legally though, just because one person's proprietary work relies upon another person's proprietary work, doesn't mean it suddenly becomes open source or public domain.

I'm just surprised the community made the critique on this version but not the other one.

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?

The best would always be long pieces, so this is pretty boring.

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 :)

I don't think you need AI to decide the best piece. Or any logic at all. It's just always the long piece. Pretty boring.

Might be more interesting if there were other constraints like it couldn't give you the same piece too often or something.

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.

The TeX license requires you to change the name of you change a single byte. > All of the methods described in these books are in the public domain; thus anybody can freely use any of the ideas. The only thing I'm retaining control of is the names, TeX and METAFONT: products that go by this name are obliged to conform to the standard. If any changes are made, I won't complain, as long as the changed systems are not c…

What is your argument here?

The MIT license states the rights, I thought?

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"

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.

That seems the opposite of open source thinking, which might be why you didn't published it and why you think that way. As an open source author myself I see this as a fair move. Just different opinions :) "The hard part is building the app, not changing a parameter" that really depends, why didn't you take an open source implementation yourself and built on top of it? Then it wouldn't be "as hard", would it? If you…

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.

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 t…

Ya, it should be called Onetris.

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

How do you know that they were trivializing anything? Perhaps they have been diagnosed with OCD and this is one of the ways it manifests?

It’s possible but very unlikely. In my experience, people who suffer from OCD almost never say things like “sorry I have an ocd need to do X”, since people who have OCD know the true depth of OCD is not in the compulsions but rather the obsessions and intrusive/distorted thoughts that lead to them. The mainstream view that OCD is primarily characterized by things like “I need to arrange things according to a certain way” is not accurate. (Hence the comment in the first place)
