    Yeah, it's the dragon from the old Atari 2600 game Adventure. :p

    I was bored, so played around with a polyomino solver I found, and this is the result.


    At first I was intending to fill it with only tetrominoes, but then I found that this particular sprite has a total area of 87. >_<

    I didn't feel right using only one tromino and the rest all tetrominoes, so I used 3 copies of a collection that totals 29:


    I

    T

    O

    J or L (in this case, all three were J's)

    S or Z (here, all Z's)

    I3

    I2

    L3

    and Dot.


    ...which is pretty much Lockjaw's 10-piece bag plus the dot. :p


    The original program only displays yellow blocks with red outlines; I did the recoloring manually to make it easier to see the "3 of each" rule.


    Download and instructions for the polyomino solver.


    The file I made to create the dragon. (Right-click, save as. Drop it into the directory you unzipped the solver into.)


    So, uh, yeah. SPRITES FROM TETROMINOES AND SUCH GO GO GO
