Congrats @BenMullen for the Level 19 PB. :) www.twitch.tv/videos/526747770
I like the polynomial including the point (0,0); that seems somehow more complete. I originally posed this as a question elsewhere as to what a...
Turns out there are places to play competitively: you just have to heard of young people's things like Twitch and Discord. ;) Anyway, I wrote up a...
Bravo sir. I like to dabble in math but never studied it beyond age 17, so polynomials and recursive sequences were all new to me. I did some reading...
Yes! That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! How on Earth did you do that??
Nope, not sure. But I suppose because it works it could be used as part of some larger equation. And if there's another equation that works out the...
I don't know why I want this but I do like simple equations and I was thinking it would be nice to know what a particular score is based on level and...
Hi Terry, I'm sure you have that by now - it's been five years! - but these four codes together do that: TAOPOPYA + APOPXPEY + TAXOUPYA + TAUPEPYA
Tried a few of those; haven't found a useful one yet. :D Here's a list I found online. It's probably here somewhere already, but pasting if not:...
Hey! Congratulations on adding 260 points to your PB. :D
I made a little excel calculator to figure all that out; you just have to enter the pre-maxout state and number of lines cleared to reach maxout:...
So the equation is: (999999-s)/v*t+l Where s=pre-maxout score; v=value of tetris/burn; t=number of lines cleared to reach maxout; and l=number of...
I'm writing this for others who, like me, want to play some competitive NES Tetris matches but don't (or didn't) know where to start. It's a bit of a...
And then I thought I'd write about ideas that occurred to me while watching, and things I've come across other people say, as there may be...
Playing some more 'competitive' and still massively struggling. First I played the guy I lost to in my first matches, in a series of friendlies, and...
So I signed up for some competitive play and, boy, was that an interesting experience. My first match was against someone I thought not quite as good...
So I'm thinking the lack of talk on here is because people have moved away from forums and onto things like Discord, Twitch, and YouTube? 'Cos for...
It seems a truism in many things that progress comes in fits and starts: improvement then stagnation; plateauing and seeming stuck; even feeling like...
Boom! I just increased my Level 19 PB from 72,000 to 102,000; I guess that means that, for the first time, I got four Tetrises. Very pleased with...
As I was writing the above, and about my inability to hit a half-mill, I had a notion that it would probably happen almost immediately after; and it...
