Tetris question

Post by Isaac »

I paused the game to take this screen shot.

Shouldn't this block fall? It's staying in mid air even after I un-pause (de-pause?) it.

The red x is notorious for its consistent position.

Seriously you guys all suck at hotlinking (even though the site specifically shows you how to do it!).

To answer issac's question: no.that game looks like its based on classic tetris, where blocks like that will remain floating.

Hotlinking (hot linking):

Also see:
Definition of "Direct Linking"
and
Free Hotlinking Checker - Test Your Hot Linking Protection

"Hotlinking" (also called "hot linking", "leeching", and "bandwidth theft") is a term referring to when a web page of one website owner is direct linking to the images or other multimedia files on the web host of another website owner (usually without permission, thus stealing bandwidth). This not only causes the other person to pay for the bandwidth of the hotlinked file, but often is intellectual property theft. The term is also used loosely (a misnomer) by free image hosts which allow you to store images on their server and allow you to direct link the hosted image files on forums or other websites (sometimes altering the image to have a watermark). One of the most common occurrences of "hot linking" is when people are forum posting and they hotlink pictures from another website to use as avatars or signature images on the messageboards (forums). Some disadvantages of hot linking worth considering are that the webpage generally loads slower when you link to images stored on a different web hosting server than the webpage is hosted on, and the owner of the image has full control to disable hotlinking, or delete, rename, or worse yet, do a "switcheroo" (i.e., switching the file name to be another image which is sure to cause the hotlinker embarrassment) of the hot-linked image. Common methods of preventing hotlinking are by using an .htaccess file, using the "Hotlink Protection" offered in control panels such as Cpanel, or simply renaming image files periodically.

I checked out other versions. Most seem to only have 10.

And they use Internet Exploder apparently. :)

I remember as a kid feeling so proud of knowing the only cheat code to the NES version of Tetris (level skip). xD

Level 20 was impossible, of course.

I beat the Tetris for the Gameboy original almost on a daily basis, because it was my only Nintendo game for a long time.
