User:Nightmareci/Detailed description of Tetris The Grand Master

Directly from Tetris The Grand Master, here is the gravity curve:

This is also based on a timings table in Tetris The Grand Master, but is modified to better fit observations I've made: It's hard to describe how lock flash looks, so look at these examples to understand:

This example shows the maximum amount of delay, starting with lock delay:

29 frames of lock delay

Last frame of lock delay (looks like lock flash)

2 frames of lock flash

1 frame of no-borders

41 frames of line clear (correct borders on everything)

27 frames of ARE (correct borders on everything)

Then the first frame of the next piece begins.

This example shows what happens without any line clear:

29 frames of lock delay

Last frame of lock delay (looks like lock flash)

2 frames of lock flash

1 frame of no-borders

27 frames of ARE (correct borders on everything)

Then the first frame of the next piece begins.
