If you’re ever using Emacs (Extensible Macro System) as an editor and feeling bored, you can always play Tetris in it. Playing Tetris in Emacs only works in the GNU environment which Mac OS X also runs under. The steps for running Tetris in Emacs have been provided below:

1. In Terminal, type emacs at the comment. Emacs will then appear for you.
2. In the Emacs window, press <ESC>. This will bring you to the note buffer section (shown below).
   
3. Once you are in the buffer section, press x, type in tetris, and then hit Enter.
4. Tetris will then appear for you (shown below).
   

To move your pieces around in Tetris, use your right/left arrow keys in the direction you want the piece to move. Your up/down arrow keys will change the position of the piece, and your space bar will shoot the piece down the bottom.

This is a fun and interesting Easter Egg included in this classic editor!
