It's based off the Carpentry game from Puzzle Pirates (http:\/\/yppedia.puzzlepirates.com\/Carpentry).

I think some quick scoring mechanic would have been a great addition to this, as it is, there's not really any incentive to avoid overlapping. It would be great if you could change the size of your tetrinimo as well as its rotation for larger areas to patch, as well as maybe a subtraction mode as well as an addition to get rid of some of the overlap (scoring would need to include number of moves as well as number of overlapped cells)"},{"author_name":"sclark39","author_uid":"15443","time":"Dec 22, 2013 @ 7:25pm","epoch":1387740000,"text":"Oh, also thank you for commenting on my game.
