Cary is the only one that can say shut up so calmly

No.

I can too!
ive seen you on timeworks
1:19 XKCD 😮 nice!
what if scrabble... but tetris? 😮

Should have made the tiles worth their value in scrabble instead of 1 each

@tbird81 my understanding of us copyright law is that you can't copyright rules to a game, only pieces/branding/art
@tbird81 wait really?

@@tbird81 sad part is that I could actually see the "look" of a scrabble piece being claimed as IP, and nobody wants to spend the money to fight it in court.
The game is really fun! I think it gets a bit too hard when they start dropping faster though, there's not a lot of time to make strategic decisions. It would be really fun if you added a 'puzzle' mode where you have unlimited time to decide where to drop the pieces. The difficulty increase over time could instead be getting less of the smaller blocks or more evenly distributed letters rather than speed ups.
Didn't expect you here
Oooh, a "puzzle" mode with pre-made levels where you have to find correct solution would also be nice
the tile’s spontaneously combust
15:21 "CH" is a valid Scrabble word outside North America 😅
and "QI" is also a valid Scrabble word
@@davidkinkade81 that was not the point, the point was that Cary mentioned that no two letter words contain a "C" or a "V", so I provided a counterexample by guy reaction
Looks like they were using NWL for this video
@@Oscar31YT that's the whole point of this comment of mine
7:04 Wow, this combo is so rare and coincidental to see! Not only did you and TTGuy make two currencies within seconds, but Georgia and Armenia border each other!
The game is fun, but I'd like to make a few suggestions:
First off, I should mention there is something called the "Tetris Guideline Rules" for how you should make a Tetris game, written by the Tetris Company. It dictates how randomizing pieces and default controls and kicks and such should work. Of the things in the guideline, The controls, and piece kicks, (basically how the piece is moved after a rotation if it can't rotate in place) are arguably the most important changes you can make.
Additionally, another good change would be being able to rebind the controls.
Gameplay wise, I feel like it's worth having more smaller triminoes and dominoes over the 4-length pieces. Additionally, grouping characters together in ways that make sense for a word would drastically make the game much easier and more rewarding to play, and the challenge would then come with levels and higher fall speeds.
Speaking of fall speeds, Those are mentioned in the guideline, but the main thing to add is a grace period when the block touches the ground, and resetting it after a movement. (but not forever)
An idea to try is wildcard tiles, which count as any letter and might make it a little easier. Maybe use an asterisk (*) or something?
Overall, quite a fun mashup!
These ideas alll sound very interesting... I also think it would be cool to see how professional tetris players would approach this game.
Yeah, I think the lock delay would help a ton here
The 'boring' 3-letter version has a piece with three exclamation marks on it which is a sort of wildcard, in that it'll cause an explosion where it is placed.
Damn, they really want to bury Classic Tetris with these guidelines.
@@TunaBear64 well, it's why competitive tetris is split between classic and modern nowadays!
I saw the stream live as it was being made! It was definitely very cool and I had fun playing what is a very interesting take on Tetris and Scrabble combined :)

1:23 When thou eyes have gazed upon it
OOOOH took me a second
haha yea
a groan born from the deepest corner of my soul escaped me on this day
@@jademonass2954wait what does it mean?
i went frame by frame and still have no clue what there is to see
i think i saw it
not sure though
1:18 nice XKCD reference

9:46 bro the look of utter devastation you make upon the tts saying 'Toes' sends me
1:25 I perhaps believe that I have allowed my eyes to see it
WHEN YOU SEE IT 👉
WYSI
really did not expect a WYSI joke on a video like this
does cary even know ?? or was this just a coincidence
WYSI
Trade? Tower?
Hmmm
I caught that too lol too bad there wasn't also OWER on the right side, destroyed with a T
16:58: the last block to appear in the upcoming blocks section before you lost, was TPOT
Incredible!

The best part of the video
I started coding this game in a 5 hour live stream
It flips based on the sign-
The thrill when i saw you livestreaming coding?
One of the core memories.
Wow, this Scrabble Tetris mashup is incredibly creative and fun to watch! Combining the classic mechanics of Tetris with the strategic wordplay of Scrabble adds a whole new layer of challenge and excitement. Watching you and Polymars go head-to-head was intense, and it's clear you put a lot of thought into balancing the game modes with those explosive four-letter words. Your passion and dedication during the 5-hour coding stream really paid off, making for a unique and engaging game. Can't wait to see who hits that 700-point milestone first! Keep up the awesome work! 🚀🎮📚
16:24 The word "Bane" coming right after you speak about how bad floating "N's" are is hilarious.
I’m glad i made this video. I love the part in the video!

You sunk my Scrabbleship.
Scrabble Tetris looks so fun
As a professional NES Tetris player, I am offended you didn't whip out your NES controller to USB adapter and began rolling.
Dear mario
Why do you look like that
Time for the NES Tetris community to change that!

9:47 that face meant total disgust
I remember seeing something like that in the puzzle “Nowhere to Hide” (from MIT Mystery Hunt 2022) … now with PVP!

**PIPSATI** 👹 7:36
0:13 my favorite part XD
All jokes aside, this game looks cool but I don’t think my brain is good enough for it.
10:06 I just looked it up, and... it might be? It's a skateboarding slang term from the 1980s, used to describe someone with a nihilistic and reckless attitude.
Slang and jargon is weird when it comes to word lists, it's kind of a guessing game which ones are included and which aren't.
Awesome! Saw this in Hank & John Green's "We're here" newsletter the last week (replacing Hank's "Nerdy Connections"). Don't think my brain can think fast enough for this, but it looks amazing!
8:17 the fact that Cary’s previous project was CHESS-related. 💀
This is amazing. I'm a Scrabble content creator and I can't wait to dive into this...we'll see how I do!
9:36 REMOTE!?
yep
Nice stream! I really like how this turned out, and also having PolyMars in the stream made an EPIC crossover! (Also nice xkcd reference! I didn’t even notice! Thanks @SquidCoder)
This seems really fun! I have a suggestion on the letter generation: instead of picking a random letter for each tile based on the letter distribution in the english language, it would be interesting to see what changes using this procedure:
1 pick a random tile in the tetromino
2 pick a random letter for that tile based on the letter distribution
3 pick an adjacent tile
4 pick a letter from that tile NOT based on the standard letter distribution, but based on how often each letter appears next to the already chosen one
5 repeat 3-4 until done
This could be improved further using sequences of 3 or 4 letters instead of 2 when the tiles which already have a letter and the new tile are aligned. I feel like this would increase the probability of making words and reduce the game difficulty, which might or might not be desired, so it could be an optional game mode
Great work anyway!
I can already imagine what the game looka like! :0
10:48 Some of these words activated a couple of neurons in my brain
Personally I'd find it a lot easier to play if there was an additional option to change it so the directions were on the arrow keys instead of random letters, as the arrow keys (with my right hand) are totally instinctive to me from far too many years of scrolling with the arrow keys, but using letters on the far left of the keyboard with my left hand (or even physically shifting the keyboard across and using my right) was not. I kept accelerating a piece down when I was trying to rotate it and shifting it to the right or left when I wanted to accelerate it down etc etc.
0:13 "shut up." cary says calmly and happily.
6:26 Cary is that your address??
Great game, always fun building something you can then enjoy!
Some constructive feedback:
Rarer letters should be worth more points
6 letter words give double, as well as 2 words at the same time!
Floating letters should fall (and give chain reactions checking each square it falls)
Freeze time for half a second after you spell a word (while animation is going or pieces are falling, both rewarding to see and giving you a short breather)
Good stuff as always sir!

good thing its twin can fill its place

2 errors i found:
1. you can still pause when its game over
2. some words like "see" does not disappear

Hi
As a proud NZ-er, I can confirm Tui is a native bird, and they are so cute.
And..
LETS GO! I am proud to say that I watched the amazing versus game and got name mike boomed by polymars.
7:00 didn't realise that star thing from mario galaxy was a real word, very interesting.
5:33 WHAAATATTT 😱😱😱😱😱😱
???
Cary you've gotta let me rebind these keys! I need my arrow keys with z/x for left/right spins in single player!!
Cool concept regardless :) I got 673 on my first game!
What's the dictionary used? CSW21 or NWL23?
Looks like neither, 11:06 ROOS didn't get cleared even tho it's in both lexicons. Does anyone know which Scrabble dictionary this game uses?
Edit: I found it by comparing the 2-letter words in the fillability website to that in the 2-letter word list. It's the *OSPD4* lexicon. Not only is this lexicon outdated (most recent is OSPD7), but it's also not common. The common ones are CSW21 and NWL23.
Maybe he used that because Cary couldn’t find a whole list for CSW21 or NWL23?
The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.
Look fun. Ill definitely give it a shot👍
yeah me too
…I mean, obviously, the ideal name for this would be *_“Tetrabble”._*
it'd be cool to also have the definition of the word
after playing for a bit over a couple days, the best score i could manage in the standard 4-letter mode was 809. it's pretty fun, but around the 600 point mark, the ratio of Tetris to Scrabble being played goes from ~92% Tetris/8% Scrabble, to 100% Tetris/0% Scrabble
yeah
9:46 THE VOICE LMAO
LMAO
Have you thought about making the letter all fall? I think the word requirement is hard enough as it is!
0:13 lol 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a Person from New Zealand, I was pretty excited to see the word 'Tui'
11:57 tingle dongle and WHAT?
glad i was on the livestream for this, this looks fun :)
7:45 best part of the video
“Shut up! 😃”
got me wheezing💀💀
0:13 wow, that is like tota- Shut up! 😁
HESH is a word (achroym) for High-Explosive-Squash-Head, which is a shell type used mostly by the british and has a special ability which is that is doesnt have to penetrate the amour in order to deal damage on the inside.
1:24 when you see it
I don't see
oh my gosh, I love the game analysis near the end of the video! I wonder how much effort it took to realize all of those and show the charts for the available words...
Wow, that is like, totally coolio!
12:03 when you attempted to play “angle” here it also accepted the S as part of the word, however “sangle” is not a word in the scrabble dictionary, at least not in english. I’m assuming it accepted “sang” and “angle” simultaneously then, which is neat
I was at that stream it seems pretty cool
5:27 Never knew Tower of Extreme Dystopia's acronym is word
Wow that is like totally coolio
for a suggestion, it would be cool to have the default control scheme as used in Tetrio, with Z and X being usable for rotation and C for holding a piece (and A for 180 if that's good). good for playing with both hands and is more intuitive when there is little standard on what the up arrow's behavior usually represents across tetris games and clones across the internet
where's the k-h joke?
It died
Cary Kreates Hordes of words
This looks so fun. I want to see a scrabble pro playing it.

What?
Theme: games on a grid. Nice! Now, combine tetris and minesweeper.
sakoban and connect 4
1:14 idk why you’re trying to battle me orange cary i will always win
i cant wait to see people develop strategies for this.
I just know that there are people out there who are good at both games, and theyre going to have a field day with this
1:24 wysi?!
I was at the stream :D (at 0:18 you can see me saying 5 dollar foot long lmao
0:49 you can see my comment saying OH MY GOSH HOW HAVE YOU BEEN STREAMING FOR THIS LONG
