@cliftonchurch6039 10 ай бұрын

I wonder, given the limited range of boards that can be created by the programming used for board generation, what percentage of boards are simply incompletable? I feel like this could be resolved mathematically or by brute forcing it with emulation tools to capture every board until the RNG loops around, and using your ability to plug enough spots at the top layer to create a playable state. Edit foe second thought: Mathematically, given every piece's spawning location and the limits of DAS movement, what is the maximum "mathematically safe" level you can start at? That is, if we generated every starting layout and piece combination the NES Tetris RNG can generate, at what garbage level will a TAS'er be able to complete 100% of them within the constraints of DAS?

@SunnyDispsition 10 ай бұрын

My guess would be level 18, as you can in theory flat burn a whole bunch of lines off the top.

@codahighland 10 ай бұрын

Without bag randomization, it's possible to have a maximally bad piece sequence -- that is, a maximally evil game implementation can always force a loss. It's not entirely clear if this can be forced before 25 lines have been cleared, though.

I can imagine a lot of consternation (me and my big words) or anger at someone pulling up that particular concern, but I think it's overall good for the community in the end. With this, you have a very clear example of viable DAS play to base future judgements off of, whether for something like CTDAS or any other possible DAS-related achievements (whoever goes for DAS 19-5 next, etc.). It's sort of a short-term detriment (people mad at the ruling, Bendy possibly not being up for trying again, etc.) for long-term gain. And, of course, congrats to Bendy!

There has been Tetris 99, as well as that one Tetris game that was made by the guy that is behind the Lumines puzzle game franchise, and the two Tetris X Puyo Puyo games that were made in the past five or six years, among many other variations of the game, so Tetris is hardly dead. Moreover, it is one of the top five video game franchises of all time, and only Nintendo's Mario franchise has more money behind it as well, plus Tetris is on as many things as Doom (1993). Finally, there are quite a few Tetris games that are on the NES/FDS, such as the NTSB-U and PAL forms of Tetris, the Tengen version of Tetris (which is an unofficial port of either the Sega or Atari arcade version of Tetris), the NTSB-J version of Tetris (which was made by BPS/The Tetris Company themselves), as well as Tetris 2/Tetris Blast, and Super Tetris & Bombliss.
