OffTopic > The tetrominoes word thread

#114052 - keldon - Wed Jan 03, 2007 10:20 am

I have noticed that you can make many words using 4 piece tetronimos when I was deciding on a name for a tetris clone. I have listed the obvious letters and other letters that can be made with it on the same line. Variations such as the y and 7 may need some slanting on the blocks to exaggerate the character.

L, 7
O
T
S, h/y
Z, 2
J, r
I

I got stroll, jolt (joltriz/joltris), holy thrill

Well it turns out that I have not made my target time to complete it today; must be out of practice so I've given myself until the 8th.

Don't fall into the trap of failing to make progress due to an unrealistic schedule. =)

I bet they'd like this topic on tetrisconcept.com.

How about "I LOST" when you get "Game Over"?

To stretch things, use the tetrominoes as initials. For the latest version of my own tetromino game, I came up with
Code:

                               _
                           _,-' \
                        ,-'      \
                        \         \
                         \         \
                          \    _,-' \
       _                   \,-'      \
   _,-' \                   \         \
,-_      __    ___  _  __  _ \   __    \  __
\| |    /  \  / __\| |/ / | | \/\\ \  ^ \/ /
 | |   | || || |   |   /  | | /,.\\ \/ \/ /
 | |__ | || || |__ |   \  | |/ __ \\  ^  /\
 |____| \__/ \\___/|_|\_\_| |_/  \_\\/ \/  \
    \         \    _,-' |__/      \    _,-'
     \         \,-'      \         \,-'
      \    _,-' \         \    _,-'
       \,-'      \         \,-'
        \         \    _,-'
         \         \,-'
          \    _,-'
           \,-'


Double meanings abound: LJ -> Lockjaw -> TEtanus and TRISmus -> Tetris
