I want to draw various matchstick pictures like this:

![wantedA](https://i.stack.imgur.com/VO1OQ.gif)

or like this

![wantedB](https://i.stack.imgur.com/J1CNN.gif)

or other figures from: <http://www.quizfragen4kids.de/figuren-sinnes-bilderraetsel/streichholz-spiele-knobeleien-1.html>

I want to use Ti*k*Z for this and have two questions about this:

* How do I get the path decoration with the matchsticks?
* What's the (syntactically) easiest way to draw pictures like this or how would a Ti*k*Z expert do this (to be flexible enough to draw such kind of figures but to have an easy syntax)?
