Tetris.

One might wonder what one has to write about the game 'Tertris'?

Tetris was a game which had its origin from the soviet union at the dorodnicyn computing centre at the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow. It was developed by Alexey Pajitnov. Tennis was his favorite sport.Tetriminoes is nothing but a geometric shape formed by four squares joined orthogonally. This was the history behind its name. There are basically seven tetriminoes that can be formed with four squares that are joined orthogonally. The shapes turn out to be some of the alphabets in the english namely I,J,L,O,S,Z,T. One of the main reasons for mentioning about tetris is that it was completely developed and programmed on june 6th,1984. So june 6th,2009 marks the silver jubilee of the Tetris game which seems to be approaching in quite a number of days.

One of the amazing things about tetris is that no player can win this game. Every player who plays this game is doomed to lose. The presence of S and Z during consecutive or frequent times will eventually lead to the defeat of the player. These seven different types of teriminoes are generated by the Pseudorandom number generator and the S-Z sequence is least likely to occur as a combination there by making single holes in each line that the player wishes to complete. The estimation reveals that a fair player may survive over 150 consecutive tetriminoes.

This effect has naturally got some of the positive as well as negative effects of the brain function.Some say that it increases the brain activity by consuming less amounts of glucose while some suggest it to be a good distraction for people who suffer from PTSD(Post traumatic stress disorder).
Well there are multifarious uses of the game tetris to be listed in this one article. With its silver jubilee nearing i would like to dedicate this article to all those tetris addicts around here!!!.
