VANCOUVER, Wash. -- A Vancouver man has taken pumpkin carving to a new level by turning one into an arcade game and the amusing 'How To' video is going viral on YouTube.
Nathan Pryor created "Pumpktris" mixing the physical features of a pumpkin with Tetris. He turned the stem into a joystick, and he made one of the sides into a screen.
On his website, Pryor explains how he made it work.

"Earlier in the month I was looking through (an idea notepad) and found 'Make Tetris Pumpkins' from sometime last year," Pryor notes on the website. "Since Halloween was only a few weeks away and it was too late to start growing pumpkins, I thought 'Why not make a pumpkin you can play Tetris on instead?'"
His high score so far: 9,800 points.
