Re: Tetris time!

AHA! So it was you!

I got 3 pictures of you: one stacked on a trash can, one walking in the lobby upstairs and one from across the Siegel center with people walking by and looking at this huge tetris piece.

This wasn't in any way influenced by 1up.com's Tetris video, was it?

I had seen that too. What do they call their thing, "8-bit theatre" or something like that?

Re: Tetris time!

My mistake. It was Mega64 that did it.

Re: Tetris time!

That made me laugh. I think we need to get more pieces to make it all the better.

Re: Tetris time!

It would make me laugh too, except it shows you and whoever was working the camera outside where you weren't supposed to be according to the field trip form you signed

I only have little tiny bottles of paint in a variety of colors, so unless you put paint on the home depot shopping list or have some at home, your lone tetris piece may remain lonely.

Re: Tetris time!

yeah, i got flak for that already...
i have some more blue paint, but it really doesn't take much to cover the entire thing, so a quart or a small amount of paint would be cheap to get.

home depot will actually give discounts on their paint that they messed up on.

Re: Tetris time!

That is the phattest lewt, we definitely need to make another block for that, perhaps the square. We'll take more video as well.

Re: Tetris time!

Hmm, we need a square, one of those 90 degree pieces that have 3 blocks, and one of the straight pieces to make almost a whole set of pieces (I know there are more, I just can't remember them) and then we can have one life size game of tetris! That'll be a good way to spend some spare time at the Peachtree regional

Re: Tetris time!

good idea, but when i came up with that i realized: what happens to the lines we delete? I dunno, but i kinda like my legs. i'm rather attached to them. HAHAHAHA!
[/badpuns]

but yeah, we may create a square or the straight block. if another team is interested in helping us complete the set, i can post the dimensions necessary for making the blocks fit with each other.

the blocks are the 2 L blocks, the 2 Z blocks, the T block, the square and the straight line. we have only 1 L block right now.

Re: Tetris time!

Not for long, a friend and I plan to make a straight block and the other L block. Painted too.


Might upload our plans tonight.
