Long Description: TANGRAM brings the ancient Chinese jigsaw puzzle
game to life on your PC. Unlike western jigsaw puzzles, Tangram
puzzles all use the same 7 pieces. These pieces are derived from
cutting a square into seven geometric shapes. By using just the 7
pieces, hundreds of forms can be created. These range from
geometric shapes and designs to people engaged in all sorts of
activities, from houses boats and guns to animals and birds, and
just about everything in between. TANGRAM can be used for logo
design, inspiration, unlocking your imagination and just plain
fun.
The endless possibilities of TANGRAM puzzles have intrigued people
for centuries. Try solving a TANGRAM puzzle or two and see why.
TANGRAM features full 360-degree rotation control over the playing
pieces, user-selectable colors from the entire 1/4 million colors
available on VGA systems, is fully mouse driven with a 3D push
button interface, has a built-in screen saver, full on-line help
that explains all aspects of the program, and many other
customizing features. All options are saved and reloaded the next
time you play.
