Bastard Tetris

Bastard Tetris, or Bastet for short, is a version of Tetris that was included with the Linux operating system. The main difference between Bastard Tetris and other versions of Tetris is that Bastard Tetris does not use a traditional Random Generator; instead, the game chooses Tetrominoes based on what the player does not need. In other words, the game actively tries to make it more difficult for the player by giving them the least desirable piece(s), often repeating the same piece over and over again if it detects one that appears to be inconvenient for the player.
Despite this, Bastet is not impossible. The AI does not always give the worst piece (though it has an extremely tiny chance of giving the best ones), and a smart player can manipulate the AI, either by tricking it into thinking a good piece is bad, or leaving it with no undesirable options. With sufficient skill and intellect, it is possible to make the game behave at least somewhat like regular Tetris.
