Description A fractal to demonstrate my newfound love of Tetris... The idea isn't original, but it was fun to make. Parts of it were difficult, mainly the fact that I came up against the 100-transform limit in Apophysis. Thankfully I managed to find a way around it, though.

I have a feeling I've seen a fractal like this somewhere before, but I can't remember whose it was - otherwise, I would credit you.

Made with Apophysis 2.09.

I believe this is the fractal you speak of:

Ah great - I've been looking for that one for a while. Actually, it's already in my favourites, but I must have missed it when I was looking through them. Thanks.

I have to stop myself from playing it; it's too addictive... Thanks for looking.

Thanks. The idea of a Tetris-based fractal has been done before, I think, but unfortunately I couldn't seem to find it here on dA.

I love spirally things.
Pretty darn cool.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Getting the spiral shape was probably the easiest part, actually.

Have you got any tutorials on how you create your art? I'd love to watch them.

Not yet, although I'm thinking of possibly making one at some point. I use a program called Apophysis, which is free to download. It's quite difficult to use at first, because it's so counter-intuitive - I've been using it for about two years, and there's still a lot that I don't know how to do. If you do decide to try it out, though, there are some great beginner tutorials here on dA, like some of the ones in the #Apophysis group: [link] .

All I can say, is it wasn't mine, lol.
I have loved Tetris for a LONG time.

This is pretty, btw.
