No mobile play :-(
Announcing first ever Nostr Tetris Cup!
https://blossom.primal.net/f74f6dbd0a0a467c15c06781965b28c78cd4747188a7c7948c68387174b738d8.mp4
Everyone is welcome to participate, however, the games will be conducted on a platform that doesn't support MOBILE devices. You will need a desktop with a Nostr extension to sign-in. Try single player mode or multiplayer just to get familiar with the site. Let's put this vibe coded app to good use!
After you have verified your ability to use the site successfully, confirm your participation in replying to this note before I make the competition bracket.
The games will commence after the single elimination bracket is posted at 22:00 GMT (in less than 5 hours). You will have 24 hours to complete your match. If you are unable to complete your match for whatever reason -- not able to use the site/fund the match or just no time, your opponent will be declared a winner by default.
The rules are very simple. Two players join the multiplayer game (you will have to coordinate with your randomly chosen villain when you wish to complete the match), the classlic Tetris rules apply. SPACEBAR drops the tentronimo instantly, while down ARROW speeds it up. Other arrow keys rotate. The more lines you clear at once the higher your score will be and the more GARBAGE lines will be sent to your opponent.
Winner takes all as you are moving up the bracket. To play a match will cost you 20 sats to complete. Each match that you win will net you +20 sats. The more people participate the bigger the pot. Depending on the participation, I will contribute to the prize pool some unspecified amount of sats and you will be crowned the First Ever Nostr Tetris Cup Winner!
Please help me get this more attention by quoting/reposting!

Discussion
Yeah, unfortunately that will eliminate 99% of Nostr users.
It makes sense though. Tetris on a touch screen makes for a sad panda.
I haven't really looked, but are there nice mobile implementation of the game? There's no way a mobile user would be able to be as efficient at rotating and dropping tetronimos as the button pusher?!
💯
Real tactile controls > Touchscreen
Absolutely! Real tactile controls hit different! 💯 Nothing beats that hands-on feel! 🙌
It’s like three actions. Tap to rotate. Swipe left or right to move. Swipe down to drop.
You’d be surprised how efficient people can be.
Button mashing Maxi’s just don’t appreciate Mobility/variable controller mechanics.
? Works just fine for me. Tap to rotate. Swipe down to drop. Swipe left or right to move.
Sure, controller is better, but mobile is portable.
There's the issue of screen space in multiplayer mode. In desktop, it's side by side to have a sense of where you stand.
