"To new players that want to get better at the game:\n\tTwo principles:\n\t1. find a version with good controls (for example, Tetris Online, Jstris, Tetr.js, Techmino). Do not use programming practice versions (they are garbage).\n\t2. Build foundations in your skills (stable Tetrises using next queue to aid decisions), don't go for fancy T-Spins from the start.\n\n\tTwo main techniques:\n\t1. familiarize yourself with spawn locations of pieces, and the controls to move the piece into each location\n\t2. Plan ahead of where to put pieces\nWe recommend that you read this article titled \"Words to newbies from a Tetris Pro\" (Click \"Open URL\". This article is in Chinese.)",

"term",
"The delay between block touching the ground and locking down (i.e. can no longer be controlled, and the next piece spawns).\nModern Tetris games often have a forgiving lockdown delay mechanics where you can reset this delay by moving or rotating (up to 15 times), and you can sometimes stall for time by doing this. Classic Tetris games often have a far less forgiving lockdown delay.",

{"Finesse",
"finesse",
"term",
"A technique to move a piece into the desired position with the minimum number of key presses. This saves time and reduces chances to misdrop.\nYou can practice by playing with Jstris's restart on finesse error, or with Techmino's finesse error sound effect.\n\nTechmino's finesse detection is not exactly \"theoretical minimum key presses\", but instead only checks for finesse against a pre-determined par key press count *when the piece locks in a position that does not require soft dropping*. This means that Techmino will not judge a piece as having a finesse error when you soft drop and spin or tuck.\nTechmino also introduced additional checks, such as holding while the current piece and the held piece is the same, or holding after you have manipulated the current piece, count as a finesse fault.\nFinesse% in Techmino is defined to be 100% when par or below par, 50% when one keypress above par, 25% when two keypresses above par, and 0% when three or more keypresses above par.\nAlso note that in 20G finesse still runs as if there were no gravity, which can cause inaccurate results.",

"DAS refers to Delayed Auto Shift, the way how blocks move to the side when you hold left or right. Also refers to the delay between the initial movement (when you press down the button) and the first automatic movement.\nARR refers to Auto Repeat Rate, which is the delay between automatic movements.\nFor new players, the recommended values are: DAS 8-10f (133-167ms), ARR 1-2f (17-33ms).\nFor advanced players who want to play faster, the recommended values are DAS 4-6f (67-100ms), ARR 0f (0ms). (At 0ms ARR, pieces will instantly snap to the wall once you get past DAS.)\n\nThe ideal configuration strategy for advanced players is to minimize DAS while still being able to reliably control whether to tap or hold; and to set to ARR to 0 if possible, or as low as possible otherwise.",
