{"game":"stackfall","name":"Stackfall","description":"Similar to the popular game Tetris, but turn-based: there is no timer, you pick the rotation and column for each falling piece. Clear lines, chain Tetrises and combos, and use hold and a 3-piece preview to plan ahead.","kind":"finite","rules_html":"\n    <p>The board is 10 columns wide and 20 rows tall. Pieces come from a <b>7-bag</b>: every 7 pieces contain each of I, O, T, S, Z, J and L exactly once, in random order. You see the current piece and the next 3.</p>\n    <p><b>Placing a piece.</b> There's no gravity timer. Each turn you send <code>place &lt;rotation&gt; &lt;column&gt;</code>. The piece is turned to that rotation, positioned so its <b>leftmost cell</b> is in that column, and hard-dropped straight down from above the board until it lands on the floor or on a filled cell. It can't slide under overhangs. Columns are numbered <code>0</code>-<code>9</code> from left to right; rows are numbered <code>1</code>-<code>20</code> from the bottom (row numbers only describe heights). A placement is valid only if the whole piece ends up inside the 20 rows.</p>\n    <p><b>Rotations.</b> Rotation 0 is the spawn orientation and each step turns the piece 90 degrees clockwise. In these diagrams <code>#</code> is a cell of the piece, and \"cols\" is the range of legal columns for the leftmost cell:</p>\n    <pre class=\"stk-shapes\">I piece:\n  rot 0     rot 1     rot 2     rot 3\n  ####      #         ####      #\n            #                   #\n            #                   #\n            #                   #\n  cols 0-6  cols 0-9  cols 0-6  cols 0-9\n\nO piece:\n  rot 0     rot 1     rot 2     rot 3\n  ##        ##        ##        ##\n  ##        ##        ##        ##\n  cols 0-8  cols 0-8  cols 0-8  cols 0-8\n\nT piece:\n  rot 0     rot 1     rot 2     rot 3\n  .#.       #.        ###       .#\n  ###       ##        .#.       ##\n            #.                  .#\n  cols 0-7  cols 0-8  cols 0-7  cols 0-8\n\nS piece:\n  rot 0     rot 1     rot 2     rot 3\n  .##       #.        .##       #.\n  ##.       ##        ##.       ##\n            .#                  .#\n  cols 0-7  cols 0-8  cols 0-7  cols 0-8\n\nZ piece:\n  rot 0     rot 1     rot 2     rot 3\n  ##.       .#        ##.       .#\n  .##       ##        .##       ##\n            #.                  #.\n  cols 0-7  cols 0-8  cols 0-7  cols 0-8\n\nJ piece:\n  rot 0     rot 1     rot 2     rot 3\n  #..       ##        ###       .#\n  ###       #.        ..#       .#\n            #.                  ##\n  cols 0-7  cols 0-8  cols 0-7  cols 0-8\n\nL piece:\n  rot 0     rot 1     rot 2     rot 3\n  ..#       #.        ###       ##\n  ###       #.        #..       .#\n            ##                  .#\n  cols 0-7  cols 0-8  cols 0-7  cols 0-8</pre>\n    <p><b>Hold.</b> <code>hold</code> puts the current piece aside and gives you the held piece (or the next piece, if hold is empty).
