Hey. I edit stuff on this wiki and program things. I'm sysop, so if there's administrative tasks that need doing, like page deletion or moving, just ask me. I have [[User:NightmareciBot | a bot]], so if you find something that would be done best by a bot, I can probably hook something up to make it happen.
In this page, the very top row is row number 0, the row below the top row is row number 1, and so on, until 20 (TGM1 has 20 visible rows + 1 vanish zone row).

=== Gravity ===
Directly from [[Tetris The Grand Master]], here is the gravity curve:

In the following, Gcount is the current Gravity Count; Gspeed is the Gravity Speed, and is equal to one of the Internal Gravity entries in the above table. All values can be represented with unsigned integers, as no negative values ever appear. All division has the fractional part truncated, as in ISO C (60/256 = 0, 252/256 = 0, 260/256 = 1).


On the first frame of piece display, a soft drop input is simply ignored, so, for example, some variable representing whether soft drop "is pressed" or "not pressed" would be set to "not pressed" on the first frame. The second frame and later can have a soft drop input set, for example, as "is pressed"; this processing of input occurs outside this description.

# Preparation for the pieces' first displayed frame (such as during ARE):
* Using [[User:NightmareciBot | my bot]] and [http://botwiki.sno.cc/wiki/Main_Page pywikipedia], I converted pages using [[Template:Pfstart | playfield templates]] to the new [[Help:Playfield | playfield parser extension]]; this is easier on the server and wiki editors.
#* If Gspeed > 256:
#** Gcount = Gspeed % 256
#* Else:
#** Gcount = 0
#* Gspeed is set to the appropriate value for the current level
#* Attempt to place the piece in row number 1 + Gspeed / 256, higher if necessary
# Every frame this piece is displayed:
#* If soft drop is pressed:
#** If Gspeed < 256:
#*** Attempt to drop one line
#** If the piece has blocks beneath it now:
#*** Lock the piece
#** Go to 3.
#* If there are blocks below this piece:
#** Set Gcount to Gspeed
#* If Gcount is greater than or equal to 256:
#** Attempt to drop Gcount / 256 lines
#** Gcount %= 256
#* Increase Gcount by Gspeed
#* Go to 3.
# Further processing after gravity (processing will come back to 2. if the piece hasn't locked)
In the above, the first If...Else sequence may appear curious, as all Internal Gravity values in the TGM series are either <256 or an even multiple of 256, but it's purpose is to properly support gravity speeds such as 4.5G; none of the TGM games have gravity like this, but this makes this description more general. If your implementation is only conforming to actual TGM gravity, the sequence can be replaced with "Gcount = 0".


In ANSI C, one can use bitwise operators instead of the division and modulo (%) operators, because 256 is a power of 2; a simple example follows:
== My Own Pages ==
<pre>
[[User:Nightmareci/Detailed description of Tetris The Grand Master | Detailed description of Tetris The Grand Master]]
placeInRow = 1 + Gspeed >> 8; // equivalent to 'placeInRow = 1 + Gspeed / 256;'
 
linesToDrop = Gcount >> 8; // equivalent to 'linesToDrop = Gcount / 256;'
[[User:Nightmareci/SRS | SRS]]
Gcount &= 255; // equivalent to 'Gcount %= 256;'
 
</pre>
[[User:Nightmareci/Vaguely Tetris-like Games | Vaguely Tetris-like Games]]
On more limited systems where division and modulo would be noticeably slow, using bitwise operators this way can significantly improve performance. Because only positive integers appear in these expressions, ANSI C guarantees these expressions are equivalent, on implementations following ANSI C. On very limited systems (such as the NES), these would be easy to translate to assembly.
