A video appeared in my YouTube recommendations a week or so ago claiming that
|
||
|
|
"someone finally beat Tetris."

Honestly, when I first saw the thumbnail, I thought it was clickbait. But then
|
||
|
|
{{< tess >}} sent me a link to a post on Cohost.

[What everyone is missing about Tetris][2]
|

|

That got me to actually go back and watch the video above, and the news is
|
||
|
|
pretty amazing.

I've often thought that Tetris, like many other games in the puzzle genre, is a
|
||
|
|
bit grim. There's no winning; the game continues until you succumb to the
|
||
|
|
increasing difficulty, or make a critical error that costs you the run. Don't
|
||
|
|
get me wrong though: I still love it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's thrilling to see that humans can in fact overcome the game's programming.
|
||
|
|
The techniques and analysis folks in the Classic Tetris community have developed
|
||
|
|
to play faster and more accurately are mind-blowing, too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Well done, Blue Scuti.
