About six months ago I shared my web-camera Tetris-playing
AI system with the world.

Now, I bring you the most insane Tetris laboratory ever.

Download the complete SOURCE CODE and the compiled
application.

This application uses OpenGL for rendering.

This application features a "one-piece" AI that is capable
of completing over 2 million rows (contributed by Pierre
Dellacherie of France).  This elegant algorithm averages
roughly 500K rows.  In my implementation, the algorithm
completes about 160 rows per second on my 800 Mhz computer.
(NOTE: To witness this rate it is necessary to change
the ratio of game iterations to rendered frames, and
the "Move Animation" feature should be toggled off.)

This application is intended as a framework for testing AIs
competing for the World Record in Real-Time Tetris AI
performance.

Categories include:

[1] "One-Piece", Real-Time, Most Rows Completed;
[2] "Two-Piece", Real-Time, Most Rows Completed;
[3] "One-Piece", Real-Time, Most "Tetris"es Completed;
[4] Longest Alternating S/Z Piece Survival;

If you like puzzles, today is your lucky day.
