Another fun (for some value of fun) variant is Hell Tetris[0] based on xkcd[1]. 0 - http://www.kongregate.com/games/banthar/hell-tetris 1 - http://xkcd.com/724/

Perhaps more interesting is Hatetris http://qntm.org/files/hatetris/hatetris.html which is programmed to always give you the worst possible piece. Just try to clear a line!

Well it always gives the same piece... Of course you can't finish a line. What does it prove?

Darn, I was hoping for a perspective from the block itself looking down on the already placed blocks. Second-person tetris then? [on a side note, I really need to learn how to game the front page. 2 year old, minute twist on 30 year old game -> front page. write a new game from scratch -> dustbin]

Try turning on "existential crisis".

no, it doesn't. You just haven't played long enough for a another piece to become a worse than the one you're playing.

Also, it's possible to finish a line using one piece (multiple lines actually).

It doesn't, if you change your strategy a little bit. I tried, I was able to get one line off. Just one.

It doesn't give you the same piece every time. If it did, you could finish a line just by lining each S-shaped piece on it's long end.

I managed to pull off a 4-line score: 20C2 AAAA AAAA 8CAA AAAA AAAA AEAA AAAA A5EA AAAA AD5A A2AA 0000 AA32 0AAA AAAA B0A9 552A AAAA ADAA AAAA B62A AAAA AB2A AAAA A8C2 AAAA AAA3 2AAA AAAA D58A AAAD AAAA A8C0 2AAA A8C2 2AAA AA39 AAAA B0AA AAAA 3AAA A8C8 AAAA A36A A3AA A32A AA30 02AA 8C0A AA8C 2AA9 5DAA AAAA AA9D 55AA AAAA AA75 5AAA AAA9 55AA AAAA 15AA AAA9 D54A AAAB 9AAA 46AA A808 AAA0 AAA1 556A AAB5 55AA AAAA

Warning, motion-sickness trigger.

Ugh, yes. I didn't think I could feel queasy from looking at a computer screen (outside of, say, staring at bad PHP code), but this thing set off my stomach.

Several years ago I ported and tweaked Bastet to Flash. http://blahg.res0l.net/2009/01/bastet-bastard-tetris/

Nice job, though if I'm completely honest, I found that version quite easy compared to the Hatris.
