ARCADE: Blinkenlights with Tetris

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the nicht-fur-fingerpoken dept.

BorrisYeltsin writes "The guys from blinkenlights are doing it again, but this time in France on a 26x20 display, for 11 nights at the "Bibliotheque nationale de France" in Paris. This time instead of pong you get to play tetris on this 520 pixel display. Again they need your animations for the project."

    Check out its 11 minutes documentary on http://blinkenlights.de/video.en.html... It was very cool to watch. :)

  2. Brown University already did it in 2000 by wackybrit · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Brown University built a thing just like this and created the world's largest Tetris game. Steve Wozniak, a confessed Tetris addict, even went to play on it.

    I think it was only a 10 * 12 matrix though.. so perhaps Blinkenlights' attempt will beat their record.. depends on the height of the tower rather than the resolution I guess.
