Bastet

Jul 20, 2023

Ncurses Tetris clone which is harder than every other Tetris

Have you ever thought TetrisR was evil because it wouldn’t send you that straight “I” brick you needed in order to clear four rows at the same time?

Well TetrisR probably isn’t evil, but Bastet certainly is. Bastet stands for “bastard tetris”, and is a simple ncurses-based TetrisR clone for Linux. Unlike normal TetrisR, however, Bastet does not choose your next brick at random. Instead, Bastet uses a special algorithm designed to choose the worst brick possible.

As you can imagine, playing Bastet can be a very frustrating experience!
