The L-Block is a tetromino and one of the seven pieces used in the video game Tetris.
Physical characteristics
L-Block is composed of four squares. These squares are connected in an L shape. L-Block is capable of rotating in intervals of 90° (four positions). L-Block's color varies from game to game. Its most common colors are magenta and orange.
Status as a character
Many people claim that the L-Block is a character because the player controls its movement directly. To the contrary, the L-Block shows no evidence of being a sentient being (within the game universe), and due to the nature of the game, it seems unlikely that the L-Block was intended to be sentient. The alternate scenario is that the player themself is the unseen character of the game, and the L-Block is simply a building material.

In the fall of 2007, Yale University will launch the Yale Open Educational Resources Video Lecture Project. Funded by the , the pilot project will produce video lectures of seven undergraduate courses for free distribution on the Internet. Diana E. E. Kleiner, Dunham Professor of the History of Art and Classics is the principal investigator of the project and the Yale Center for Media and Instructional Innovation () is responsible for media development and course production.
The aim of the project is to make educational materials widely available and accessible to the world and to extend the University's reach beyond the walls of Yale. The project will introduce an online curriculum of introductory liberal arts courses taught by some of Yale's most distinguished teachers and scholars.
Taking as its starting point ongoing initiatives at other universities to distribute course syllabi, lecture notes, and reading assignments online, Yale's resources will focus on the actual lectures delivered in the courses. All courses in the pilot year are being shot in High Definition 1080i video for archiving and compressed for streamed viewing the Internet. Yale's multidimensional packaging of the course materials will include full transcripts of the lectures thereby expanding and enhancing existing OpenCourseWare models.
The project's inspiration, as noted on the web page, is the "simple and powerful idea that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge."
