    T e t r i s
    - Week #3 -

    Think you have what it takes to be PokeCommunity's best gamer? Prove yourself in PC's Year of Gaming Challenges! Each week a new game will be picked to see who has what it takes to get the highest score in a game ranging from old school to current modern classics. The people with the top 3 scores will be given emblems due to their abilities. If you have a recommendation on what we should play next, send me a VM/PM and we'll see what we can do!​

    "Tetriminos are game pieces shaped like tetrominoes, geometric shapes composed of four square blocks each. A random sequence of Tetriminos fall down the playing field (a rectangular vertical shaft, called the "well" or "matrix"). The objective of the game is to manipulate these Tetriminos, by moving each one sideways and rotating it by 90 degree units, with the aim of creating a horizontal line of ten blocks without gaps. When such a line is created, it disappears, and any block above the deleted line will fall. When a certain number of lines are cleared, the game enters a new level. As the game progresses, each level causes the Tetriminos to fall faster, and the game ends when the stack of Tetriminos reaches the top of the playing field and no new Tetriminos are able to enter."

    I think the hardest part of this is unlike other Tetris games I've played, the second the block touches something you can't adjust it anymore - other ones usually give you that millisecond to shift it a bit before it stops moving, that usually helps me a lot. :P

    But this is kinda fun, I like Tetris.

    I just wish I can see many of your reactions when you first see the challlenge and think "oh, tetris pffff" and then see the screen flip for the first time xD

    yeah i thought his was gonna be easy, and then the screen flipped when i pressed space.

    EDIT: I somehow broke my game (probably from mashing the buttons cause i had no idea where to put the piece). What happened is that i can still move the tetris block i'm supposed to place freely, even rotate it and the screen rotates with it.

    Also got a new high score that still isn't even close to the other 2 lol

    Well, that wasn't cool.
    Spoiler:


    I didn't realize it was a game mode at first haha, thought it was like a music/sound option or something. But it kinda makes the 'normal' mode easier to play after.
