Taking advantage of the robust fresh character demarcation line , the account statement uses Braille unicode to form the iconic Tetris occlusion flesh . Anyone on Twitter could advert @TwtPlayTetris in a tweet and eccentric LEFT correct ROTATE or knock off to control what the next move would be . Much likeTwitch Plays Pokemon , an algorithm would tally the votes and determine what command the people have chosen , send out a smart tweet with the game ’s progress .

But playing crew - sourced Tetris is only part of the compass point . People are playingConnect Four , Chess , Go , and more through tweets right now , and you should all be inspire to adapt your favorite old schoolhouse game so that we can at long last rid ourselves of retweets , quote tweets , tweetstorms , andattemptsto launch a nuclear war .
