I would think that the way to speed it up is to write it in the CHIP48
language.  This would bypass the slowness associated with interpreted
RPL and garbage collection, because CHIP48 is written in machine code
and its language is much easier to interpret.  With a little ingenuity
and planning, I don't think tetris would be too hard to accomplish
with CHIP48.
