	Nono.  vim has tetris as a compile-time option, in C.  You
see, emacs is written in LISP, and vim is written in C.  You write
emacs extensions in LISP and vim extensions in C.  This is yet another
reason why vim is better at editing C code than emacs--emacs spent too
much time implementing LISP modes.
