The Negative Motivation Project consist in a modified Tetris game wich saves the player's final screen when the game is over. The pictures are then displayed in a gallery, sorted by number of holes left in the grid.
The purpose is to insist on the negative motivation that is the engine of Tetris : you never see the complete lines you managed to make, as they are cleared immediatly. You just see the mistakes you made, and you always want to correct them.
