😂 I have to play a pro gamer.
@Neigsndoig IQ 120 how soon can you play?
Okay. I don't really know how matchmaking works here, but I'll jump on
Well, I see you
How do I get an invoice to pay to start?
How do I get an invoice to pay?
Click on pay 10 sats in the middle there, it should then prompt you to connect your wallet (NWC) or provide you with a QR code.
Do we both need to be in multiplayer mode and ready to start a match? I don't see any such button.
Yes, both in multiplayer mode and signed-in through the extension. You should see each other.
Okay looks like dropped.

For some reason, I get an error 400 on my Alby wallet, so I need to figure that nonsense out.

I am in the lobby if you want to have a test run and figure out how payment would work, Rich.
GG. Nice work on the basic mechanics.
IM THE BEST THEY EVER WAS
I'm here
OK, the good news is that
@Neigsndoig IQ 120 is able to pay and play now. GL to you both!
Name a time
@Danny Morabito
Prepare to get tetrasized
If I'm reading this correctly, I play whoever wins here?
I think I won my round by forfeit 👑
no no, I was afk, and then sleeping! how about in 1 hour?
That could work. Maybe a tad longer. Be in touch
Apologies. Some stuff came up. Play by ear later today?
No problem!
Ok when you are
All the luck to both of you!
how about now
Let's do this
321 forfeit
I lost horribly
gg

I botched it badly. I'm better than that showing, but not by much. Godspeed
don't worry about it man, been playing tetris all my life :P
I used to have an A ranking on tetr.io
Oh wow! I mean I only made one line lol. Pathetic.
At my peak as a kid I made 112 lines one time, something like that
A suggestion has been made to make it best of three series going into the future. There’s always next time.
Yeah, or double elimination so matchmaking luck plays less of a roll. Seems the field is stacked with sharks anyway though
Yeah, I like the idea of a double elimination
sounds good to me, let's do that next time :)
@⚡️DEFAUXKING⚡️ won by a loooooot lol
It was a good match, but I eeked out the win against
@cypher_funk
Did anyone beat my score of 1 line?
Current standings

I had 6 🥲
Is it too late to withdraw sponsorship? Accounts payable is really on my ass 😅
Yes 😂
When is good for you
@TheRupertDamnit ?
I'm in louisiana so im central us time zone. Its almost bedtime right now but we can do tomorrow?
Don't psyche me out! Lol
Yeah I’m central too. You wanna aim for 7pm tomorrow?
You haven't seen the last of me. By hook or by crook, I will have my revenge
You’ll get more than those sats back from some sucker at a poker table soon, I’m sure
let me know when it's a good time for you
@Neigsndoig IQ 120
Money is on Danny! I need this
for the next tournament please try and fix the following issues.
you won't be able to fix the biggest issue (the movement not being logical and janky, plus the vertical duplication), since that's not something you can explain to the ai
- [the bag](
https://tetris.wiki/Random_Generator), the current way it works is kinda throwing me off, because it's hard to strategize
- [holding pieces](
https://tetris.wiki/Hold_piece), I try to do this all the time out of habit and lose one line's worth of time before I realize that it's not a feature lol
- try implementing [SRS](
https://tetris.wiki/Super_Rotation_System) or [ARS](
https://tetris.wiki/Arika_Rotation_System) whichever one you prefer (personally SRS), or which ever one the ai understands best
- [ghost pieces](
https://tetris.wiki/Ghost_piece)
- [lock delay](
https://tetris.wiki/Lock_delay), this might be hard to get the ai to do, not sure
I could probably carve out a few minutes earlier than that, say around 2? Otherwise, im out of pocket until way late tonight or tomorrow evening, likely.
I forgot we have to go out of town for a family funeral. Kinda been trying to block it from thought because it's a heavy one.
🫂
that will be late for me (am currently in chicago)
My condolences first off.
And secondly, 2PM works for me
Game on! I'll see you tonight.
Stream the finals on primal ? I'd watch/talk shit
that sounds fun, if I'm in the finals I'll stream it
Lfg team Danny
Thanks Danny! I will definitely consider all these improvements.
So maybe tomorrow morning at 8:30 or 9:30 am Pacific? Is that alright?
Yeah, works for me
Yup! I am ready!
I’m also open to the idea of releasing the code so that the improvements can be made. I don’t wanna be the gatekeeper.
Fantastic.
Okay, so how do we do this? Lol.
If its easier, we can talk it out on cornychat.com/itsanotherroom

See you there!
This one was a SUPER TIGHT match! If i hadn't gotten a few lucky pieces in a row I would have been toast, but I got the W from
@TheRupertDamnit

@Pitufo using cornychat.com was pretty cool for this. It was like playing with a friend in the same space. If you want to set up an official #nostristournament room, I can help you with it.
Yes it definitely adds to the experience in my opinion!
@Danny Morabito completely off-topic, why do you say that this can’t be explained to an AI? Trying to hone my prompt writing skills and this would help a lot if you could explain, thanks in advance!!
I'm happy to hear this. Feel free and take the initiative with the room creation!
how do you explain something that you have to "feel" to get?
it's hard to explain even to humans, the best you could do is tell the ai to dial the ARR, DAS, DCD and SDF to be within reasonable standards (2 frames, 10 frames, 2 frames and 6x, the default values in tetr.io ), but first you would have to actually get the rendering to be a constant 60fps, and have no random delays, ideally, which would require a lot of tweaking.
but generally speaking, how do you explain something like the "feel" of the controls without actually trying it? human developers can test the game, and "feel" when the movements are janky, an LLM cannot. even if somehow LLMs got faster, smarter, and could understand this feeling I'm describing and they could perform actions in 100ms, that would still be too much delay for it test the interaction.
hopefully that makes sense
We are so going to win!! 🫂
sorry, one last thing, a website that has a REALLY good multiplayer tetris experience on web is tetr.io, it is so nice, feels buttery smooth, could never have been written by an LLM, it's as good as native tetris games actually running on the hardware (in fact, it feels better than many native ones)
So, we just both log on at the same time? I saw the multiple player options.
I’m not making the finals but excited to play. I played a little today it’s a lot of fun.
Yes, just join the multiplayer option. I am available right now if you are free.
Ok sweet, joining now.
I am there
Are you able to make a payment to start the game?
Just refreshing the page and re-joining!
Yes you hit start
Oops, I didn't see the game go off at all. I left the lobby and re-joined.
Re-join?
Yes I’m here now and paid sorry for the delay
It's OK, it's a bit quirky but as long as we both get there at the same time we should be able to start.
I just paid, I will let you hit start whenever you are ready!
Ready?!
😂🤝🤙🏻
GG Shug!
To be fair we can make this a best of 3 if you wish! But I have to run now and will be back in about 90 minutes.
Maybe after grok integrates with neuralink, then feelings can be communicated in 0s and 1s

A fellow Dune enjoyoor
@Dan Wedge when can you play?

Great question i have access to a computer around 17:00 est. honestly i was more about spreading the word about the tournament. If its too late its a forfeit while disappointing i understand the show must move on
Yo, I'm ready to go whenever you are.
Tried to fix something, so let's see how this goes.
Having issues on my end, please wait 5 to 10 minutes
Feel free to let me know when.
ok now shoudl be fine actually
And now it's my turn to have some issues. I'll be a minute.
I completely fumbled this, I played terribly, GG
sorry to disappoint
@YODL , I lost, fair and square :(
the lag threw me off haha
Sometimes that happens. GGWP.
Really? I thought you were a lock!! Best 2 of 3? Clippy got lucky!
If you are up for it we can can still play. I will be available around that time.
Take the win my friend i appreciate the addition but i am going To take the L
No worries, thank you for expressing interest and supporting the event. 🫂

With these results we are approaching finals soon.
@⚡️DEFAUXKING⚡️ when can we play?
You good to go now? I happen to be free
Let's do it! Meet you there. Going in right now.
Best 2 of 3 since it’s the semi finals?
Sounds good to me!
GG! Very close. I wasn't confident at all in any of our matches. First game I took took long to build a structure hoping for a 4 line clear.
Good games, friend! You deserve the win!
It could've gone either way. Best of 3 is the best idea. In fact I am even thinking best of 5 is better. You never never how the pieces will fall.
Yeah it was really competitive and it’s way more exhilarating playing this way than solo
I agree!
This whole thing has got me envisioning a website like a full arcade meets online poker.
Where you can play any game for 50sats from things like Dig Dug, Galaga, PAC Man, Pong, Street Fighter, Mario Kart, MK3, etc
That would be awesome! I was just thinking the other day, we should have the World Series of Nostr (poker) event.
@YODL
@:P talked about it, then he got high
I am not sure if you had seen, but there's a Mario Kart for sats implementation by
@D++ It's pretty awesome!
That’s amazing, I’ll have to check it out!
We play poker on lightning with the corny chat people
Is that a Friday game?
@:P is who i would point you to
Yeah, I think it's the same game that
@YODL told me about then.
What’s up
@cloud fodder when’s the next poker night?!?
friday? im back, wuz waitin for ya to get back 😁
Friday night Poker returns!
any idea about my dad?
@Pickle Dan 🥒 I need a meme of me but as darth vader telling tanel im his father
Guys the thread is too long, who won? lol
the divorce attorney
Pitufo in finals with clippy
I think...
Who is clippy?! 😅
Ah, I get it! The pfp is Clippy! lol
I propose the best of 3 for the final match. What do you think,
@Neigsndoig IQ 120?
Not gonna try to remember how to spell neisendog vosculas or whatever 😅
Good point! lol
BO3 should be fine for the finals.
In the future, we could do BO3 for the rounds before, and Grand Finals be BO5.
#GE y'all.
It looks like I'm facing
@Pitufo or
@⚡️DEFAUXKING⚡️ in grand finals.
Pitufo proposed a BO3 grand finals match, so I thought it might be interesting to do BO3 for regular matches, and BO5 for grand finals. If many, many more players, I'd propose BO3 for regular matches, BO5 for quarterfinals, BO7 for semifinals and grand finals.
As for the format, we're currently doing single elimination, but I could see in the future, if things get more organized, double elimination, and losers are sent to a loser's bracket (as is the case in fighting games).
That's just a hypothesis, though.

Maybe we could have some vibe coders look into it once the source code is released (I'd recommend anything in the GPL family for licenses to make it Free Software).
Otherwise, regular developers can work with vibe coders for some ideas they could try. Also, as to making some of these fixes, have you considered implementing them in Electron? I'm sure that could help with the speed.
I like this idea.
I would love to improve the speed of the game and do some bug fixes that came up. I don't know how much time I can dedicate at this particular moment in time on this, but am happy to share the code.
I geek hard on Dune, there’s a podcast where they read a chapter every week and also have a book club to just discuss the universe. It’s called the Gom Jabbar and it’s really good:
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLr_60r7LdK0S3pVKbf46g-V1-40bMvqCB&si
I've read the books twice. Am I perhaps the expert? Should I start a podcast?!
Seriously though, is it a good pod?
Ya man, start your podcast, if there’s one thing that this world is missing is more podcasts 😂😂
Who won?!
🤮🤮🤮
Great win
@Neigsndoig IQ 120 ! I wish I could have seen it
Lol all love for everyone here.
