Tetris Turns 25 177

teh.f4ll3n writes "25 years ago a Russian (Soviet) researcher thought of one of the world's most popular games. It is now that we celebrate its 25th anniversary. 'Twenty-five years ago, inside the bowels of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Moscow, a young artificial intelligence researcher received his first desktop computer — the Soviet-built Elektronika 60, a copy of an American minicomputer called a PDP-11 — and began writing programs for it.'"

Comment A similar game for labeling video (Score 1) 389

I wonder if a similar game for labeling video would work well. As the video plays, players would type words corresponding to whatever they see at that moment. Word matches between players would only occur within a small time interval (e.g., within 5 seconds say). Players can type the same word multiple times and matches with the same word may occur multiple times. Of course, as with the ESP Game, you would need various mechanisms to detect cheating.
