tetrvm

pronounced tetrum


tetris has 7 colours and empty squares. if we assign a one digit value (0-7) to these and give up 2 of our 10 squares for instructions, we get 8^2 or 64 different possibilities. this leaves us with 8^8 different inputs so technically tetris is capable of being a 30bit computer and thus also has the potential to be turing-complete
