Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds I also found myself playing at around 5 in the morning when my father wakes up to get to work. Keep playing and be patient. You will improve even more soon enough. I haven't played since the first day of 2009. When I couldn't get sub 50 seconds at the end of last year I swore to not play for at least 2 weeks before getting back to it. Next week I'll start my daily practice sessions again. Hopefully next time I post over here I will be a sub 50 seconds player. And thanks for your encouragement Radish!
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds just make sure you're getting enough sleep, or all that practice won't get you very far
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds I remember staying up till morning playing Starcraft or Counterstrike or something. Then I got a job... Cherish every night you stay up late!
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds I made a new year's resolution to go to bed by 2 AM and wake up by 11 on non-school nights. It failed. Also, I need a new avatar, but this vector of this one character I like has him a little too pale, and it's not as exact as I thought. Anyways, as I promised to myself, I did some 180 Seconds. Code: Result: Cleared 180 seconds at level 83 on 2009-01-15 at 17:59 Played 228 tetrominoes in 3:00.00 (76.00/min) (active time only: 2:49.96, 80.48/min) Pressed 1059 keys (4.64/piece) Made 83 lines (single: 12; double: 4; triple: 5; home run: 12; T single: 0; T double: 0; T triple: 0) Sent 67 garbage (22.33 per minute) Left 74 blocks behind LJ score: 21700 Options Well: 10x20, Enter: Below Speed: Zero, ARE: 0 ms Randomizer: History 6 rolls of Tetrominoes Hold: On, empty, Rotation: Arika+initial Lock: Move reset, Deep: Off Line clear: 0 ms Naive, Gluing: Off Drop score: None, T-spin: Off Garbage: Off, DAS: 166 ms 1G Soft drop: 1G Lock, Hard drop: Slide Shadow: Fainter color, Next: 3
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds I shall not rest until I'm sub-40!

Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds So glad I finally got under 1:00 Also, I was wondering if there is anything I'm doing wrong, like I usually only go for tetrises. I've been practicing a lot but if there's something specific I'm doing wrong I'd like to work on that specifically. Thanks! I just got Lockjaw a couple days ago and I must say it is AWESOME! So much better than what I was playing. (Tetris DS and Tetris Splash) Edit: Oh btw, I was using a gamepad. Code: Result: Cleared 40 lines at level 98 on 2009-01-19 at 03:37 Played 104 tetrominoes in 0:59.43 (104.99/min) (active time only: 0:55.00, 113.45/min) Pressed 419 keys (4.02/piece) Made 40 lines (single: 0; double: 0; triple: 0; home run: 10; T single: 0; T double: 0; T triple: 0) Sent 49 garbage (49.46 per minute) Left 12 blocks behind LJ score: 13800 Options Well: 10x20, Enter: Above Speed: Exponential, ARE: 0 ms Randomizer: Bag of Tetrominoes Hold: On, empty, Rotation: SRS+initial Lock: Move reset, Deep: Off Line clear: 0 ms Naive, Gluing: Off Drop score: None, T-spin: 3-corner T Garbage: Off, DAS: 166 ms 1G Soft drop: 1G Slide, Hard drop: Lock Shadow: Fainter color, Next: 3
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds nice going vtrickzv! i think the most excited i ever got after a 40 lines game was the first time i broke 1:00. where is DIGITAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i've been maintaining this [very active] thread for a month or so, and it takes some time to fill in all the details for each entry. i'm thinking of simplifying the leaderboard unless somebody wants to take over the thread. this is what i have in mind: 40 lines: Name -- Time -- TPM -- Date 180 seconds: Name -- Score -- TPM -- Date if anyone wants to see more details it shouldn't be too hard to skim through the thread by date.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds I could do it temporarily if necessary. But it would be easier if everyone just posted their records and added a code like hereunder that can be added to the leaderboard easily. Code: Ai -------------- (ARS)Zero 00:50:46 121.26 3.30 16/12/08
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds BTW : Code: Amnesia --------- (ARS)Death 00:36:68 171.74 2.83 13/12/08 Joystick This is just the details of my previous best one. I like the format like it is today, I was even thinking about adding the TPS.. The KPS is also an interesting data, few weeks ago, we compared our KPS digital and me to see who has the most optimized game. and a last thing, Digital is dead, I don't see any other explanation.. No seriously I begin to worry, I don't see how he could avoid during 5 weeks internet..

Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds @ Amnesia: Last time he left for a while he came back stronger than ever! I'll do my best to keep this thread up do date until DIGITAL comes back! In this case the TPM is 108.96 and nice improvement. When I started playing the aim was to get under 1 minute. I've come a long way since then and the ultimate objective now is to clear 40 lines in 40 seconds. It won't be easy, but if we keep practicing our patience will be rewarded!
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds unfortunately, as Maserati pointed out, a player can use macros on a third party program which sends extra keystrokes that Lockjaw interprets as keys pressed. either he's dead or he had to give up tetris to concentrate on school or work i'd guess.

Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds That's interesting. Maserati, what key combo would you need to macro that Lockjaw doesn't already do?
