The problem what we were debugging was some of the pixels thinking they were in some other place in the matrix.

The video is running at actual speed but as stated in the first video it is head-mounted camera and I am not even trying to keep my head still for the video. The video is just a by-product of debugging and produced with almost zero effort.

He's the worst tetris player because HE'S DOING IT ON PURPOSE!

What they're trying to avoid is a whole complete block row which they accomplished on a few lines on the first video.

See. Blocks don't clear off.

I think the camera moves because of speeding up the footage. At one point in the video you can see a person moving at a very fast pace. is this actual programming and wiring, or a replicate of the russian dorm tetris...?

@faust1200: Because that is a video of him debugging it. When you debug something you have to do the crazy unlikely things just to make sure.

@RomeIsRising: why is it attached to his head he is stupid. what a waste of effort and money that is, and annoying too for people living there.

@AdmNaismith: He says the camera's attached to his head, so it moves every time he looks around.

That's what I'd call a job well done.

But, the Tetris player isn't that skilled at the game, nor is the videographer at taping the event.

Awesome. Simply awesome.

You'd think for all that effort, though, they'd be good at Tetris.

Cool, but the guy shooting the video should be beaten to death with a hammer.
