Proving that Tetris can run on basically anything
Do you know the whole bit about how "DOOM runs on anything"? I like it a lot. I think it's funny. Although, sometimes, DOOM may be too complicated for certain pieces of hardware; whatever you're running it on pretty much needs to, well, be a computer. I find particular joy in running games on things that aren't computers, so whenever I get sufficiently bored, I port Tetris to whatever I can get my hands on. Below is a list of all of my ports, some of which are more cursed than others.

Things that are computers, but only by definition
CHIP-8
*
CHIP-8
is essentially the very first
fantasy console,
released all the way back in 1978. Graphics are quite strange; its only form of graphics are 8-pixel-wide sprites, which also serve the purpose of collision detection.
Things that are not computers
Desmos
*
Desmos is a graphing calculator. It has no built-in scripting functionality; this was done entirely through mathematical expressions.
GeoGebra
*
GeoGebra is an online geometry tool. This one is far less impressive than the other ports, considering the fact this is just JavaScript running in GeoGebra. Also it's really slow.
Things that are games
SmileBasic (3DS)
*
SmileBasic is essentially a programming tool on the 3DS, meant to teach people how to develop games. BASIC is its language of choice, which is great for beginners but fairly annoying for complex programs. Also I spent like 3 days trying to understand how it all worked in the first place.
