iTangram Fury

Hi,
The iTangram app I made was only a toy, for free. No big deal. Yet the amount of email I have received, the strange web sites it has shown up on for download (insert foot stomp here), has cause me to clean up the code. This in turn has cause me to pull out my old geometry books. Blah, blah....
Any way, I have fixed many bugs. It now checks the rotations of the pieces to make sure they match the silhoutte. I have done my best to optimize the drawing of the shapes as they are dragged by the mouse and have resorted to sending [self setNeedsDisplay: YES] to the whole view so the dragged shape does not leave artifacts. The NSView is such a puppy. It does things when it wants. The medium size triangle in the upper left responds to mouse down much better than it did (improved the geometry of rotation).
As for some of the angry email about the artifacts and the medium size triangle not responding, I must respond by say, "relax", it is a freeware toy! And, I am going to put the source up, so if you want to improve it you can! Don't email me!

Also, I found the app on a Chinese site. What is the policy for freeware, can someone just download it from my site and upload it to theirs?
