For you Tetris aficionado's out there, you might be interested in a bot I built a few years back for TetriNET, an online multiplayer Tetris network:

For a long time after I stopped working on it I saw Tetris metaphors just about everywhere... it was kind of sick.

Anybody else instantly hear the theme song (as played by an 8 bit machine, probably a Game Boy) in their head the second you read the word "Tetris"?

I picked up a couple of old original Game Boys a couple of months ago for making chiptunes, and one of them came with Tetris. It never stops being fun.

Any of you with iPhones should go try out the multiplayer iPhone falling tetromino game some friends of mine put out (they had me quickly bang out most of the graphics a few months ago), Mino, and tell me what you think.
