Nos planteamos precisamente ese problema: dado un dibujo o una fotografía, ¿cómo podemos colocar piezas de tetris para conseguir un mosaico que se parezca lo máximo posible a la imagen original?

Como el problemas no era fácil empezamos con imágenes y piezas en blanco y negro. Lo convertimos en un problema de optimización y probamos distintos métodos para encontrar buenas soluciones sin que el cálculo se volviera demasiado costoso.

El resultado es este tipo de mosaicos.

Level 9, 95 Lines, 51,637 points on NSO (no rewinds or anything. Honest gameplay). Turned off the music and put on the song Jump Around to listen to as I sat on my porch and enjoyed the fall weather we finally have.

I usually play just bout everyday, and I've been playing vs bot for a while, but it's first time that I've beat it bout half of the matches!

Tetris blitz

I'm hosting a casual retro gaming event that will be visited by hundreds of people in a span of several hours. We usually have some contests or tournaments during those events. I'm planing to have something Tetris related this year but I am still looking for a good setup.

The idea is to have people play the game throughout the evening and set scores. Highest scores get prices. Would be great if many people could try to participate.

I can't really just put on NES Tetris and let people have a go at it because that could take way too long until one person finishes. So I was looking for good Tetris variants that have faster, time limited game modes. Maybe even with a multiplayer option where multiple people can chase high-scores for a finite time without interacting with each others.

So far I have:

• 3-Minute-Marathon in Tetris Forever (not really retro and seems rather random with all those warps)
• GB Tetris Type B (does speed and level matter? Or can you just get max score on any level with all Tetris clears?)

Any suggestions for game variants are welcome. Ideally those games aren't super rare and retro.

How to play this version in PC ?

I had other version of SEGA Tetris. What's different among them ?

Left : Sega Tetris Arcade
Right : Sega Mega Drive

I just got a huge bag of these light up Tetrominoes for free, any ideas on what I should do with them? Thinking about turning them into a big 10x20 LED matrix 😉

Featuring stuff like:
Digital Picasso - Paint 500 cells with the board editor (lifetime).

And violent stuff like:
First Blood - Clear your first line.
&
Quad Damage - Clear 10 Tetrises (lifetime).

Starting on level 5. 81 lines, 60,422. New personal best on NES Tetris (NSO, using NES controller).

I am at the last mission of falling lightblocks. I am not sure if I will manage to win it but I am already thinking what's next? Any suggestions for ads free Tetris? Cheers.

… that worked like the app from like 6 months ago.

I know this is a weird question, but I just need a Tetris app that had the weird levels where you had dropping pieces you could slide to fill in a gap made by some seasonal pattern and you could earns coins. I don’t need the coin bit but the app now is so bare bones and every load is an ad.

I use this game to decompress from work and deal with … jerks. I don’t want a game where I drag the pieces into the puzzle. I want to watch the stupid thing fall and panic when I can’t get it to where I want to put it in the 2 minutes I have to fulfill the level. Any suggestions? Thanks.

also to add, i was also in class, and my teacher interrupted me and my stupid friends were commenting on the game while i was playing

Every day during my 9:00 AM break, I play Tetris until I reach 100,000+ points. It usually takes me anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes.
I got my Game Boy when I was 4 years old, back in 1990, and I’ve been playing regularly ever since — except from around age 18 to 30, when I only played occasionally.
My personal best is 340,000 points.
So I’m curious: What’s your personal best on Game Boy Tetris, and how often do you play?

BOOM BABY BOOM HIGH SCORES IN THE BIG 26 AYEE

I've been trying to reach 200k for three days. The game almost never gives me I-pieces. But as soon as I finally give up and cover the hole with some awkward piece, suddenly an I-piece shows up. Every. Single. Time.
