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.

Suggestion: When a new world record is set for this category, if you know (like from discord or something), you could put it at the end of this pinned comment.

@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.

@Manabender 3 года назад

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.

Haven't played in a while but I decided to try no rotation for about an hour. The most lines I could get was about 11. I go back to normal tetris, and it all seems so much easier.
