Talk:Playing forever

The random factor will make let's say 10 S figures appear in a row, thus wrecking your scheme. Btw I came up with exactly the same scheme a year ago, and proceeded to obliterate it with the current argument.

 * What you talk about does not apply to newer versions of Tetris. Older versions used a memoryless random number generator. Newer versions generate a bag of all seven pieces in random order, then another bag of all seven pieces, etc. See Tetris Guideline --Tepples 19:01, 9 July 2006 (EDT)

That won't work
TZS, ZTS:

I don't understand. If you get dealt ZTS, how are you going to put the T under the Z? You can't slip it under unless you've got the Z against the right wall, and I was under the impression you were putting this well on the left wall. Perhaps what you ment is this:

ZTS:

If so, why don't you enumerate all the possibilities so that it is clear.
 * Yup, I had "The New Tetris box art syndrome" (reversing Z and S in diagram). Besides, in both SRS and TGM, T can kick under an overhang. I'll go back and clarify that section. --Tepples 16:58, 3 August 2006 (EDT)

STZ@High-Speed Theory:
How about you just put the STZ into the middle, while making JLO a few blocks shorter on purpose? That way, at higher speeds, can't you make a hill with them, and thus move the other pieces into the left and right wells with more ease?
