Best. Game. Ever. : Hatetris

[photon]

A version of Tetris that gives you the statistically worst possible piece every time.

Very mean.

[Da_Chief]

It keeps giving the stagger piece every time. Not cool. I dont like it.

[GreenLantern]

Hahah awesome

[GreenLantern]

No wait, this isnt awesome, its actually very frustrating, even though I KNOW it is trying to screw me over, it still makes me angry.

*$)(# this game.

[photon]

Yeah it mostly starts off with 15-20 stagger pieces first to annoy you.

[SebC]

My current highscore: 2. I quit.

[Frank MetaMusil]

Thanks Photon, you've just managed to send my productivity at work down to zero......

[Russic]

I got about 50 staggered pieces and all i needed was a long one. I finally got it and it was useless. That was frustrating.

[Regorium]

I worked so hard to trick the computer to give me what I want and still only got 7 lines. Bah.

[Phaneuf3]

I got 5 lines on my first go around. not sure if I'd be able to do better - that was cruel.

LOL, I kinda felt like someone was on the other end messing with me. I envisioned the guy to be one of those Russians in the hatch from Lost.

Okay, that game is fataing bull. I could make the hardest tetris game ever too if I just gave people one direction of squiggly blocks. My heart can't take that kind of stress anymore!

[Esoteric]

Yeah, I got 6!

[Bill Bumface]

I'm pretty freaking impressed by anyone that got more than 1.

EDIT: 4!

[ma-skis.com]

i got one, sadly i only impressed myself

Thinking up some strategies to abuse the algorithm

"The algorithm for "weighing" possibilities is to simply maximise the highest point of the "tower" after the piece is landed."

Maybe force it to give you all lines and then build a tower of lines so it tries to feed you more lines? Look to a play like this for tips

EAAA AAAA AB0A AAAA AAAB 0AAA AAAA B00A AAAA AAA9 5AAA AAAA AAD5 6AAA AAAA 0C0A AAAA AAC0 2AAA AAAA 5AAA AAAA AB56 AAAA AAA6 AAAA AAAA D6AA AAAA AAAA AAAA AB6A AAAA AA2A AAAA AAAE AAAA AAAD 56AA AAAA A976 AAAA AA0A AAAA AAA9 6AAA AAA9 6AAA AAAC AAAA AAA8 0AAA AAAA A900 2AAA AAAA A56A AAAA AEAA AAA8 0AAA AAA6 802A AAAA AAB0 AAAA AAC2 AAAA B00A AAAA A5D6 AAAA B00A AAAA 5AAA AAAD 000A AAA9 D6AA AAA6 AAAA AD6A AAAA AAAA AB6A AAAA 2AAA AABA AAAA D56A AAA9 76AA AA0A AAAA A5AA AA5A AAA3 AAAA A02A AAAA 802A AAAA AA56 AAEA AA02 AAAA 6002 AAAA B0AA AB0A AB02 2AA9 75AA B00A A96A AAD5 AAB0 02AA 6AAA D6AA AAAB 6AA2 AAAD 56AA EAAD 5AAC 36AA A5AA CAA8 0AAA 802A AA75 6A80 AAA6 AA00 AA96 AAA8 2A80 2AA8

you see this guy trying to abuse the "tower" algorithm to force it to give him better pieces

[HotHotHeat]

I'm a self proclaimed Tetris enthusiast, I got 9 lines. Super frustrating.

[boogerz]

Wow that is hard
