User:Nightmareci/Detailed description of Tetris The Grand Master

Directly from Tetris The Grand Master, here is the gravity curve:

Internal Gravity[1]

Level	Interal Gravity (1/256 G)	Level	Internal Gravity (1/256 G)
0	4	220	32
30	6	230	64
35	8	233	96
40	10	236	128
50	12	239	160
60	16	243	192
70	32	247	224
80	48	251	256 (1G)
90	64	300	512 (2G)
100	80	330	768 (3G)
120	96	360	1024 (4G)
140	112	400	1280 (5G)
160	128	420	1024 (4G)
170	144	450	768 (3G)
200	4	500	5120 (20G)

This is also based on a timings table in Tetris The Grand Master, but is modified to better fit observations I've made:

Delays

Level	DAS (frames)	Lock (frames)	Lock flash (frames)	Line clear (frames)	ARE (frames)
000 - 999	14	30	See below	41	27

It's hard to describe how lock flash looks, so look at these examples to understand:

This example shows the maximum amount of delay, starting with lock delay:

29 frames of lock delay

Last frame of lock delay (looks like lock flash)

2 frames of lock flash

1 frame of no-borders

41 frames of line clear (correct borders on everything)

27 frames of ARE (correct borders on everything)

Then the first frame of the next piece begins.

This example shows what happens without any line clear:

29 frames of lock delay

Last frame of lock delay (looks like lock flash)

2 frames of lock flash

1 frame of no-borders

27 frames of ARE (correct borders on everything)

Then the first frame of the next piece begins.
