{ I made a simple tangram game in [SAF](saf.md), look it up if you want to play some tangram. ~drummyfish }
Tangram is a simple, yet greatly amusing old puzzle [game](game.md) in which the player tries to compose a given shape (of which only silhouette is seen) out of given basic geometric shapes such as triangles and squares. It is a rearrangement puzzle. Many thousands of shapes can be created from just a few geometric shapes, some looking like animals, people and man made objects. This kind of puzzles have been known for a long time -- the oldest recorded tangram is Archimedes' box (square divided into 14 pieces), over 2000 years old. In general any such puzzle is called tangram, i.e. it is seen as a family of puzzle games, however tangram may also stand for **modern tangram**, a one with 7 polygons which comes from 18th century China and which then became very popular also in the west and even caused a so called "tangram craze" around the year 1818. Unless mentioned otherwise, we will talk about this modern version from now on.

It is a rearrangement puzzle, a 2D game that's in principle similar e.g. to [Soma cube](soma_cube.md), a game in which, similarly, one makes shapes out of basic parts, but this the shapes are three dimensional.

- Be careful to make the exact shape you see, sometimes it is possible to make a very similar looking shape that has just a tiny bit different proportions e.g. by rotating the parallelogram.
