I love this, this is awesome. If only life was like this. I guess it is sometimes, when you're in the golden flow of everything going good...How to keep that? Maybe just keep…

Objections
Forking Hatetris and flipping a sign is poor etiquette and not really the maker's own work.

If all you’ve done is flip a sign, it’s a little disingenuous to say “by GistNoesis“.
carl_dr on HNIf you take something that took hours to build and (as is claimed) spend 1 minute modifying it, you absolutely have no right to claim it’s “by” you. I think everyone except you…
Grustaf on HNI completely disagree. I made a hatetris myself (called Lövetris) once, spent a good 20 hours on it. If someone took it, flipped a sign (or even re-skinned it) and published it…

Piece generation can get stuck giving S or Z pieces repeatedly.
From 3 comments
I got two long pieces, laid them down side by side, and was hoping for another one so I could start getting set up for a tetris, but all I got was garbage Z pieces forevermore,…
raldi on HNThis is not working, I'm only getting S shape pieces.
mnouquet on HNEh? Seems the same as hatetris, an endless stream of s shapes!

From 1 comment
I'm sorry for your bad experience. "Undo and redo" shortcut don't seem to work, but the clickable undo and redo button at the top left work. It's a quick project which arose from…

Use a random bag generator so pieces are evenly distributed.

As other comments have noted, it's easy to get this implementation into a state where it throws "S" pieces at you over and over. It would be better if it used a variant of the…

Credit and link the original Hatetris more prominently on the site.
From 1 comment
I think you should add a link to and acknowledge the original on the actual game site. It's not really enough to link to your own github then have the link there.

Optimize for four-line clears rather than single-line clears.
From 2 comments
Very nice! My initial reaction is: it's not giving me the piece I want. It's trying to force you to clear individual lines as soon as it is possible to do so. But in real Tetris,…
electroly on HNI was thinking about trying to make a version that optimized for giving you four lines at once to be a real lovetris but then decided that would probably just almost always give…

Questions
Whether the Hatetris code license permits this use.
From 2 comments
The Hatetris code doesn’t appear to have an open source license, or any license, so it isn’t open source. This use of the code is a clear legal breach of copyright, in the…
learnstats2 on HNI find it important to identify that yes, a license is required to use someone else’s code - I mean this legally, not morally: you can be sued. The sibling points about trademark…

raldi on HNI've played HateTris for once and now this. Considering that this is basically game-review, I can cut this short to: Both are really boring.

TGM randomizer
From 1 comment
Better than hatetris, but I'd much rather the TGM randomizer.
