      @@MylesTheGreat I'm actually one of the people just learning. I think I might finally move over from Gameboy to NES for good after beating Steve Wozniaks Nintendo Power Highscore. I know you can max it out but it looks like a boring thing to single it out forever.

    Great plugin! The ability to use lua scripts to write plugins for games is such a great feature of FCEUX (I couldn't imagine writing this as a romhack/mod in 6502 assembly).

    I've seen so many videos. I've tried to explain das to my wife. I was an adult educator and curriculum designer. I couldn't for the life of me explain how to manipulate das to her the way you could.
    I'm impressed.

    Very nice vid and good effort, I wish I had found it earlier. One issue I had when trying the script was at times I feel like i was shamed for making adjustments and for tapping once to move a piece one column to the side. But that might just be a bad habit I have, im not sure.

    • @TomLokovic
      @TomLokovic  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      They're designed for the fceux emulator, running a Tetris ROM. When it's running, you can go to File->Lua->New Lua Script Window, and then choose the plugin. Or just drag-and-drop the plugin onto the fceux window.

    • @TomLokovic
      @TomLokovic  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In terms of practicing, I found levels 9 and 12 useful for getting a feel for DAS. I can't play reliably at level 18 but once I started to get a feel for DAS I found it useful to play level 18 now and then, even though it went badly, just so I could focus on how DAS feels there.

    Neat! But *where* am I presumed to be playing the game itself here? On Windows? Using some emulator program? EDIT: Found the answer: Use the emulator called FCEUX (currently version 2.2.3) and play under Win32 or Linux OS.

  • @ThomasfromDenmark1

    Nice vid. So players dont press down to make the piece drop faster?

    • @TomLokovic
      @TomLokovic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      From what I can tell, advanced players (which I am *not*) generally never press down, because they only play at higher levels where the piece is falling so quickly that there's no reason to rush its descent. I've seen footage of tournament players pushing down as a sort of joke, when they're not taking things seriously.

    • @TomLokovic
      @TomLokovic  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@Peat030 The lua script works by reading (in the fceux emulator) from specific memory locations that Tetris uses to represent specific values. If the PAL version of Tetris uses the same memory locations to represent the same values as the NTSC version, then the same lua script should work for both. But if the PAL version uses different memory locations to represent the state then the lua script won't work for it.
