A record that stood dormant for potentially decades got tied and shattered repeatedly over a very short period of time. This is the story of how it happened.

This is a HUGE update video to the No Piece Rotation video I made last month! Thanks especially to Kirby703 for pitching the concept of this video to me and helping organize the timeline of records. Additional thanks to HydrantDude, B14NK, and Kofi for helping fill in the gaps for the early months, and to the guest interviewees for coming on! Check out all the videos in the google doc in the description.

@ZinbobDan 3 года назад

@R Russell another comment in here mentioned that it is based on the timing of the previous piece locking down. So your current piece and next piece are generated, then the RNG determines the following next piece based on the internal clock when the current piece locks; the next piece becomes the current piece, and the newly generated next piece gets queued up.

Idea: One-Rotation: You must rotate every piece exactly once. It's up to you whether it's clockwise our counterclockwise. But every piece must be rotated once. Not zero times, not two or more, exactly once.

S and Z are different pieces because you can't turn a S into a Z with rotation only (you can with reflection), someone could, create a nes tetris romhack made for no rotation (or just with a extra no rotation mode), where it has every piece variant possible (they are called Fixed tetrominoes and there are 19 of them en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetromino#Fixed_tetrominoes)

I think the longer the game goes, the rate of failure increases exponentially. In other words, it appears the maximum number lines that can be cleared has increased logarithmically. For example, it is relatively easy to improve your personal best from 16 to 17 lines, but it must be nearly impossible to improve the world record from 35 to 36 lines.
