[edit] Some plans for future analysis

[edit] Board health

Ideas to measure board health

simple board fill - Count of positions on the board that are used. This is extremely simple and is already in the analysis
modified board fill - count columns that have holes in them, and use that as modifying factor to the simple board fill. The height of those columns (or of highest?) should be a factor too
- discussion in this thread: https://twitter.com/HeptaSean/status/1063093435719213056
board age - for each used position, track how long (age in pieces spawned) it has been on the board. Health is then the sum of ages. Lower = healthier
- A low board will have a higher turnover of pieces and better health. A high board will have low rows that are stuck for a long time - as they age the health will decrease, indicating we are high and possibly stuck there...
- however, it's still not an objective absolute, as two identical boards may register different health
- discussion in this thread: https://twitter.com/Caber_nl/status/1065174652060909570
weighted board fill - count occupied positions in columns. The unhealth of a piece is valued according to how difficult it is to get to. Basically, the more buried a piece is, the higher it scores. Buried holes need to be handled in some form (they are bad), and deep open wells need to be handled (they are good)
- possible implementation: every occupied position is a point. Those that are on an equal row or higher than the lowest accessible open spot have no further weighting, however each occupied position below that row gets an additional +1 for each row further down. Each unoccupied position (hole!) gets an additional +1.
- Should it handle horizontal holes (ie don't count quite as strongly because once uncovered, they'll be easier to fill and move on?)

[edit] Sociopolitical analysis

The game can be examined as a microcosm of human democratic/communication behaviour!

I wrote some notes about this at one point. There have been many tweets too.

For instance, this thread: https://twitter.com/alexjc/status/1063861229536665601

[edit] Tactics

Avoid center holes and center towers
Keep the board clean

“	Playing @EmojiTetra: 1 dimensional: where do I put this piece? 2 dimensional: …and think about ensuring a spot for the next piece 2.5 dimensional: …and maximise points with the current two pieces 3 dimensional: …and consider the resulting silhouette for the next unknown…!	”

[edit] Rhyming game tips

(refer also to My Terminology below)

“	If there are less rows than four, build it up to score some more If there are more rows than five, tear it down to stay alive	”
—https://twitter.com/nemothorx/status/1080666992397283328

"less than four? build up more"
"make a column only if it's to the bottom"
- on the side build a column, but only if it's to the bottom
- note: uses non-standard use of "column". Should find a tip to call it a well
"more than five? clear some lines to stay alive"
- I like it, except the meter in the first and second clauses is mismatched. “If you’re stuck with more than five, clear some lines to stay alive.”
  - https://twitter.com/JoeSondow/status/1031215485596004352

"1+1<2" - this is great for sentiment and brevity, but the only people it would be clear to are the power players who know it anyway!

[edit] Board styles / known feature changes

Start of Game 1 from the 16 April 2018: score in blocks, then unicode SOON, then linedrawing to illustrate NEXT piece
During Game 1 on the 19 April: unicode SOON replaced with unicode F-FWD
During Game 5 on the 22 May: Literal "Next", then braille indicator of next piece. Then literal "Score" in and score in plain text
During Game 6 on 5 June: "Next" and score moved to right of board. Next illustrated with emoji same as board
During Game 18 on 10 Feb: "The bot will now tweet a rendition of the game grid with filled rows marked as disappearing, with the score benefit shown." - https://twitter.com/emojitetra/status/1094340439849615360

All-clears are achieved on average every 6-8 weeks, but if game play and RNG pieces align, are theoretically possible every 7th piece (as occurred on the 5th of Dec with pieces: "IIIJITJ"

In Late May 2019, I (Nemo) decided to push the all-clear tactic, believing we could move from every 6-8 weeks to every 10days or so. In the following 35 days we got two only 6 days apart, but then none for 5 months!

[edit] Awesome moves

For those times we manage to fill in overhangs, T-spins and I-spins

- TODO

[edit] Longest activity on the same piece

In the long run, we average about 4 polls per piece (4.14). Here are the times we've taken over 4 hours for a single piece. 13+ polls...

[edit] Great Escapes

When The End Is Nigh - and then it wasn't. This is the list of times we've filled the board to 45 or more static pieces, and subsequently recovered to under 30. "Saved to" is measured as the board fill after clearing lines, to the point where two pieces in a row begin to stack again.

date/tweet	Game	Saved from	Saved to	Notes
15 May 2018		45	18	Stumbled from 45 to 35 to 43 to 33 to 42 before clearing to 18
21 May 2018		46	3
8 June 2018		45	19
21 June 2018		48	29	29 according to the rules laid out above, but we made it down to 16 before the next escape only a few days later
23 June 2018		48	15	Stumbled from 48 to 31 to 39 to 15
24 July 2018		49	15
5 Sept 2018		48		not a real save - we saved to 31 and then crashed and died 12 hours later
4 Oct 2018		47	5	achieved 46 to 5 with sequential pieces
5 Nov 2018		48	28	actually made it down to 19 before the next day's escape
6 Nov 2018		46	9	46 to 9 in three sequential pieces
13 Jan 2019		50	1	bounced from 50 down to 44 up to 49 over 6 hours, before the save
11 March 2019	Game20	52	22	We had a 25piece I/L drought, and 21piece I/L/S drought. Both record breaking. 12 non-scoring pieces in a row (an equal record)
25 May 2019	Game 25	45	21	No clearing due to RNG, but we built clean on the edge. Then an I to clear four (simultaneously making this the fastest game to 19000 score)
11 June 2019	Game 25	46	19	We had a disproportionately large run of O leading to a build up of holes
2 July 2019	Game 25	45	27	bad RNG and choices - we steady filled from 5 to 45
12 Nov 2019	Game 32	47	24	very quick recovery
9 Feb 2020	Game 34	48	22	big clean with a triple, however the game nonetheless ended shortly after (within 36 hours)
25 Feb 2020	Game 36	45
3 March 2020	Game 36	50		A real mess which we got lucky cleaning up from

[edit] Last Stands

When The End Is Nigh ...for sooooo long, before we succumb. These are the great not-escapes. Where we reach gameover level board, and continue seemingly improbably extra time.

date/tweet	Game	Peak fill	Time lived (pieces)	Notes
28 Sept 2019	Game 29	53	28	No 53-full had never previously lasted more than 6 pieces. This lasted 28, and an astonishing 37 hours before the game ended needlessly with foolish voting. Despite not achieving better than 35-full and ultimately ending the game, the longevity is notable enough to include here
8 Oct 2019	Game 30	51	22	Previously, only G20 had escaped a 51-full, and G29 managed a 51+ full great escape. Every other 51-full had ended within 9 pieces, usually 3. Game30 lasted 22 pieces. No mistakes led to gameover, just unavoidable eventual poor pieces from the RNG

[edit] Other Greats

Magnificent moves which show how skillful the collective can be - especially when a non-obvious move is sufficiently spruiked into awareness. I call these: #AwesomePlan

This I-spin in Game 23 to fit into a tight spot. The plan was formulated and spruiked from the previous piece, but linking here to the I https://twitter.com/EmojiTetra/status/1123573444400914434
On 25th June (Game 25), we placed a Z such that it didn't overcover the right-edge hole, and then double-spun the following I to clear the line covering that hole! Linking here to the Z: https://twitter.com/EmojiTetra/status/1143464512156098560
9th July (G25), a lovely T-spin. Linking here to the reveal of the T as the "next": https://twitter.com/EmojiTetra/status/1148276395186909190 ...note also that the T took 13 polls to complete it's move, which places it in contention for the 'longest activity' as well)
29 July (G26), another lovely T-spin. We successfully did a mid-board "ceiling bump" (our first?). Here is the T reveal: https://twitter.com/EmojiTetra/status/1149267865788272640
1 April 2021 (G57), our first Unicorn - the elusive tetra+all-clear, 2000 point maximum scoring move. At this point the account was nearly 3 years old, and the unicorn terminology was nearly 2 years old! https://twitter.com/EmojiTetra/status/1377602207185469444

[edit] Other weird

Split clears are times when a double or triple occurs on non-sequential lines. Only possible with L/J/I for split doubles, and I for split-singles.

Since the line-clear-indicator tweets began on the 10th of Feb 2019, we have only had 7 split-clears - 6 doubles and 1 triple. By comparison, in the same time we had 3 all-clears and 9 tetras.

[edit] Scoring rate

Scoring rate vs total

[edit] Real world analysis

There is reasonable correlation with better scoring rates, and better scores. Indeed, as of writing (G24 just begun), there are 11 games with a rate above 1100/day - these have a min score of 11925 (avg: 32580), whilst 12 games below that rate have a maximum at merely 13850 (avg: 6373)

Within reason, this seems logical. Smart play is required for long games, but also improves on scoring rate by seeing non-obvious combinations of the current+next piece to score doubles and triples, where more naive play (as the hive often does) will seek singles only. Conversely, simple "just get singles" non-aggressive play will often result in situations where, thanks to a run of awkward pieces, the board gets messy and the hive simply hasn't learnt and practiced the skills to navigate out.

“	Scoring faster means playing smarter. Playing smarter means playing longer and getting bigger totals.	”

1st July 2019 scoring rate chart: https://twitter.com/skrymir42/status/1145501324139782145

[edit] Hypothetical maximums

Hypothetically, the maximum scoring rate with ideal pieces is a board-emptying tetra. 2000 points every 7th piece. I believe the fastest this could be done is with 6 "O" and then one "I" bar. This would be nearly 7579 points per day - or over 6.3x our normal scoring rate of approx 1200points/day

At our normal randomised piece rate of placement, 2000/7pieces would still be approx 4x our normal scoring rate. But that is also impossible in practice, since it relies on us being able to build a 6wide 4high tower every 6 pieces, and then have an I to score the emptying tetra every 7th piece. In practice of course, we only get an I as the 7th piece 1/7th of the time. We also cannot get an empty board every 7th piece, even if we had prescient knowledge of the future. However, I think it should be possible to get approx 2x our native scoring rate from smart piece placement alone. How? By targetting the empty board bonus via full clears as the default tactic. This should be safe as it's a tactic which inherently means we keep the board low, we have a regular "seventh piece" cycle to play to, and if we build clean, then we should get plenty of doubles and triples and occasional tetras the rest of the time.

Safer AND faster scoring rate. What's not to love?

Without a way to play solo and test tactics, this is theoretical only. (A javascript implementation to allow faster one-person play would be great as a practice/education tool. Could even feed it the official game piece order for direct comparisons with the hive?)

[edit] My Terminology

(note: this is what I endeavour to use, and while I encourage others to use, it is in no way formal or endorsed. Most of it is what is commonly used already)

board: play area (7x11 squares)
column: a vertical sequence on the board from top to bottom (11 spots)
line/row: a horizontal sequence on the board from left to right (7 spots)
clear - to clear some rows (see also: full clear - to clear ALL rows)
single/double/triple: to clear 1/2/3 line(s)
tetra/quad/tetris: to clear 4 lines
electorate/collective/crowd/hive: everyone who votes
hole: an unfilled space that is surrounded on all sides and above
overhang: an unfilled spare that is covered at top, but open to the side and can be underfilled with a side-slide
- awkward overhang - an overhang that cannot be underfilled, so looks like an overhang, but acts as a hole.
clean - board without holes. as in "the board is clean" and "this is a clean drop"
- question: is a half-hole a clean board?
dirty - opposite of clean: a board with a hole. "the board is dirty". "this is a dirty drop"
silhouette/skyline: the shape of the top surface
well: a deep part of the skyline requiring a J/L or I to fill.
- May also be called a hole. Esp I-hole
empty board: nothing on the board. (a perfectly flat skyline, as per the start of a game)
- I prefer 'empty' to avoid possible ambiguity with clear or clean
full clear - the move that achieves an empty board
stale/fossilised - to refer to how long a row has remained unchanged
momentary hole - a hole which is created with the placement of one piece, with the knowledge that it will be uncovered with the very next (already known!) piece.
ghost hole - a hole which will only appear to exist but the placement of the piece that creates it, in fact clears a line that uncovers it. Hence it never really exists.

[edit] Fast?

During the 2020 coronis pandemic, a new 10minute game began. I am not currently tracking details on this, however here are start/end tweets per game of it to allow thread finding for future automation potential

[edit] Also also... some final notes

Around mid 2022 my interest in emojitetra finally faded. The automated scraping of game data had long failed due to twitter's changing html, and life distractions overwhelmed me. Below represents my scatch textfile where I kept game data. Some overlaps with what is above already. The rest is here for potential usefulness. With time and effort, it could be used to flesh out the tables above.
