Announcing first ever Nostr Tetris Cup!
Everyone is welcome to participate, however, the games will be conducted on a platform that doesn't support MOBILE devices. You will need a desktop with a Nostr extension to sign-in. Try single player mode or multiplayer just to get familiar with the site. Let's put this vibe coded app to good use!
https://nostris.fun
After you have verified your ability to use the site successfully, confirm your participation in replying to this note before I make the competition bracket.
The games will commence after the single elimination bracket is posted at 22:00 GMT (in less than 5 hours). You will have 24 hours to complete your match. If you are unable to complete your match for whatever reason -- not able to use the site/fund the match or just no time, your opponent will be declared a winner by default.
The rules are very simple. Two players join the multiplayer game (you will have to coordinate with your randomly chosen villain when you wish to complete the match), the classlic Tetris rules apply. SPACEBAR drops the tentronimo instantly, while down ARROW speeds it up. Other arrow keys rotate. The more lines you clear at once the higher your score will be and the more GARBAGE lines will be sent to your opponent.
Winner takes all as you are moving up the bracket. To play a match will cost you 20 sats to complete. Each match that you win will net you +20 sats. The more people participate the bigger the pot. Depending on the participation, I will contribute to the prize pool some unspecified amount of sats and you will be crowned the First Ever Nostr Tetris Cup Winner!

I tested controls earlier. Very nice. Consider this my official entry.
Yeah, unfortunately that will eliminate 99% of Nostr users.
It makes sense though. Tetris on a touch screen makes for a sad panda.
I haven't really looked, but are there nice mobile implementation of the game? There's no way a mobile user would be able to be as efficient at rotating and dropping tetronimos as the button pusher?!
Can we raise the stakes a bit? I say this knowing full well I can't win
Let's see how this first cup goes. I am not sure we'll have enough competitors. 😂
💯
Real tactile controls > Touchscreen
? Works just fine for me. Tap to rotate. Swipe down to drop. Swipe left or right to move.
Sure, controller is better, but mobile is portable.
There's the issue of screen space in multiplayer mode. In desktop, it's side by side to have a sense of where you stand.
Bitcoiners do think it's not auditable/ less auditable.

@Danny, the cyber guy to the participants. Will be using another npub for this (npub1rcwrkgec7mpwnpgyvtfhgu66ra9qcyp9vstauzl4j27vdvkwt87qek0zpq)
@YODL has been practicing with me a lot. I dunno, he might be tough to beat now.
It’s like three actions. Tap to rotate. Swipe left or right to move. Swipe down to drop.
You’d be surprised how efficient people can be.
Button mashing Maxi’s just don’t appreciate Mobility/variable controller mechanics.
Huh?
I'm ready!
I will not enter, since I'm mobile and old tablet only, but I love this idea! Have some sats! And fun!
Absolutely! Real tactile controls hit different! 💯 Nothing beats that hands-on feel! 🙌
BRB renaming the Nostr Tetris Cup #1, to Bäretta's 🇨🇿 Cup! 💜
I will most likely be in the same boat, let me figure out the computer situation
Sounds good! Let me know how it goes.
We got a generous donation, the Tetris Cup is now a sponsored event. 2K sats on the line.
🥱
DAMN! Double or nothing! ❤
YOLOBASE is the second sponsor! YO, we are at 4,000 Sats for the first Nostr Tetris Cup!
Make sure to tell them about sign up and deposit bonuses. Check DMs
@:P will you be interested in participating?!
Should they contact you?! Are you the official rep of YOLOBASE?
As a pro-am guideline player, there are a couple things I notice almost immediately that maybe y'all might want to change:
1. Have a potential option to use the WASD keys, comma, period, Left Shift, and / keys for different purposes (or whatever else that's customizable).
2. If something like Alby isn't being used, maybe instead, one could potentially add the LN address, and go through that instead of a browser extension like Alby.
3. The game is surprisingly slow, so there's a good chance whatever language was used isn't really optimized for this type of thing (at least for me). Maybe look into optimizing the speed more if that isn't too hard to do? I'd be happy to test it out.
View quoted note →It's...complicated. Let's let the lawyers iron out the details and not bore anyone with that stuff hahaha 🤙
I’m traveling right now when is the battle going down?
Chesstr would be fun and useful. You could authenticate with nsec and keep your elo
I will post a bracket at 22:00 GMT, then everyone can coordinate with their respected opponents on when to complete the matches.
Can I just zap this note to donate to the cause, as well?
If you wish! 💜
Thank you for your generous contribution to the prize pool!
The prize pool for the first Nostris Cup 🏆 is at 7,774 sats! Anyone else wants to join the tournament before I make the final bracket for single elimination?
View quoted note →I want to play
If you are on a desktop and can access/use the site, you are in!
No no NO! Weren't you the flappy bird guy? I will pull my sponsorship!
The very same.
I can access it, but if I play for more than a few minutes, the preview box stops working and the next queued piece doesnt appear until I make a keystroke.
😂
I wanna start a side pool of betting on winners. At least that way I might make some money. I'll take action on Rich or Pitufo to win
Hmmm, odd bug. Noted, thanks for the report!
Well done Pitufo. Sweep the leg!
I think i have it sorted out. I'm not entirely sure, but it might have something to do with elements that can get focus. For example, if the mute button has focus, the space bar actually affects both the field of play and toggle the sound.
Where will the bracket be posted?
Hoping before the end of the day! Trying to get more people interested in participating. Rough crowd I tell ya! Also, there might be some technical difficulties due to the nature of the platform. Hoping for a smoother experience next time around.
Adding
@Rich Nost to the mix.
There is jester! But I don't know if it is still beeing maintained.
jester • chess over nostr
jester – chess over nostr
It's so over lol
👀
Guess what the only thing I am better at than Flappy Bird is?
Being humble?
Joke's on me tho. I got paired with a pro gamer in the brackets.
Tetris must be played with two thumbs.
This was a bad playthrough...
