This is a HUGE update video to the No Piece Rotation video I made last month! Thanks especially to Kirby703 for pitching the concept of this video to me and helping organize the timeline of records. Additional thanks to HydrantDude, B14NK, and Kofi for helping fill in the gaps for the early months, and to the guest interviewees for coming on! Check out all the videos in the google doc in the description.

@R Russell another comment in here mentioned that it is based on the timing of the previous piece locking down. So your current piece and next piece are generated, then the RNG determines the following next piece based on the internal clock when the current piece locks; the next piece becomes the current piece, and the newly generated next piece gets queued up.

Idea: One-Rotation: You must rotate every piece exactly once. It's up to you whether it's clockwise our counterclockwise. But every piece must be rotated once. Not zero times, not two or more, exactly once.

It's nice to know that a guy from my own humble country of Hungary holds the world record. Props to Zoltán.

Well done aGameScout! Once again a great video and it must be very satisfying for you to know that your videos about make a serious mark on the game now. A lot of players are being encouraged to play Tetris and records are being broken, just because you made a video about them. That must be a real nice motivation to keep the weekly going. Well done!

i have been watching your channel and i cant stop. im already practiceing a puyo puyo tetris (i cant afford a NES and am too scared to try to get a rom) this re introduced me to tetris and i am glad for that.

When I got tetris for Christmas as a kid many many years ago, I didn't realize you could rotate the pieces. It seemed impossible to get anywhere near the default "high scores". I quickly dismissed it as a garbage game but then it occured to me that maybe you could rotate. Picked it back up, rotated, and I was hooked.

This is my new favorite class of Classic Tetris. First it was DAS and then Hyper tapping which tend toward the twitch aspect of gameplay. With NoRo, it seems more like strategy. There is RNG in both but the latter is just now starting to be studied.

It would be cool if someone could mod the game so that each piece spawns with a random rotation.
