Applying Artificial Intelligence to Nintendo Tetris

I'm impressed with this extraordinary Tetris hack. Not only this article is as thorough and clearly explained as it gets, but its tone is classic, understated, concise and intelligent, making it an intemporal piece. I never thought I could be this interested in the inner workings of Tetris. The amount of knowledge required to put together this hack is simply unbelievable. Assembly code, artificial intelligence, reverse-engineering and much more kept me riveted throughout the process. Thank you for writing and sharing this memorable Tetris piece, that deserves far more appreciation from the community that's the most likely to understand this achievement. Bravo!

I'm impressed with the detailed analysis of the inner workings of the various aspects of the complete package. I'm tempted to try to write documentation for software that I'm working on in the same way. A sort of guided tour through the processes at every stage, with links to the actual code sprinkled in. At the very least it might be entertaining for whoever has to maintain it later.
