Yesterday i found some code i wrote in 2002. I was bored in school, and was asking myself if it would be possible to let PHP play tetris, including some visualisation. There was no AJAX or any well-known JavaScript Framework  at that time (of which i had known), so after some “print a full game table for every move you do” sessions, i finally (ab)used outputbuffer-flushing and some DHTML (dom-manipulation through javascript).

The whole thing is only one ~25kb file and resembles a full tetris playing program

Since it was a fun project in my earlier stages, there are some things missing: “good code”, comments, coding standard (naming schemes), oop, … But it works.

The “AI”-part of the script is a “try and weight every possible move, choose the best” approach – one can tune the formula for this calculation for different results.
