Pocket Tangrams is an ancient Chinese puzzle game which uses 7 geometric pieces that forms a square. From these 7 puzzle pieces, several geometric shapes can be formed. All that is required is a little imagination!
This game is written using vb.net compact framework. Included in the game is almost a hundred puzzles to solve and more to come.
I saw my niece playing with her Tangram pieces made of plastic. I borrowed it and tried solving a few puzzles. And I thought it was really challenging. So, I decided to make a puzzle game like it for the Smartphone. I soon discovered that designing the application for the Smartphone was even more a challenge! I had to review Geometry and Trigonometry. It took me a couple of sleepness nights learning how-to's such as, how do I know if a point is inside or within the perimeter of a polygon, how to do I know if a polygon is inside or intersects another polygon, how do I compare polygons (how do I know if the puzzle is solved!), rotation, translation, union, etc... Mathematics is about 75 per cent of the programming... It wasn't as easy as I thought! Anyways, I was able to figure out all the Mathematics, surfed the net for Tangram puzzles to solve, and I came up with 99 puzzles included in the Tangram SP version. I'll be adding more soon... said the developer
