Chinese T-Puzzle
Ever heard of Chinese Tangram? Not tantra… T.A.N.G.R.A.M.
Well until last week, I had never heard of it either. But after I was assigned, as part of my graphics course, to write an OpenGL application about it, I had to discover what it was all about. Tangram is a Chinese game where you can constitute out of different small pieces a certain shape, several shapes actually. It may look easy at first glance but it turns out to be tricky -> head-scratching is recommended. In order to complete the shape, you can move, rotate or mirror the pieces.
Using the application I wrote (which I called “Chinese T-Puzzle”), you can try to form the shape. Features:
- 8 shapes to choose from
- 4 pieces to use
- 5 levels difficulty (time-dependent)
- Doesn’t recognize the shape… - well yes you can’t know until time is up. I’ll try to set up that option A.S.A.P.
Notes:
- It has a nice interface, you can check out the screenshots below.
- You’ll need the GLU and GLUT library for it to run: two files called glut32.dll and glut32.dll that needs to be placed in C:\Windows\System32
- I’m waiting for your comments; I’d really like to improve it!
