- download Classic Tetris NES rom (I'm not sure about licensing of 30yo+ games, so I'm not including it in the repo. It's very easy to find though)
- save it as
public/roms/tetris.nes npm inpm run start
- It's possible to move all the calculations to the Worker by setting
WORKERtotrueinsrc/connfig.ts. - Even it logic in the workes is the same as the one for the browser'smain thread, I just copied the code (together with configuration) because I didn't want to spend time on forcing
importsto work in the Worker (orinportScriptsin the browser). - The algorithm isn't optimized for speed yet, so the non-blocking Worker version doesn't really work as expected
- To skip the loading screen on each refresh:
- start the game
- pause it right after the first tetramino is visible (
Q) - run
nes.save(0)in the console. index.tswill load previously saved state if available- it's possible to have multiple starting points ("saves"), just increment the argument passed to the
load/savemethods
- The best result I get so far was ~517k points, what was more than enough to qualify to Classic Tetris World Championship last year. 2019 threshold was ~650k, so we're not there yet ;).
