Tangram :
The Tangram is a chinese puzzle. The object is to put seven geometric shapes
together so as to form a given outline. All the pieces must be used and are
laid next to one another. The pieces are five triangles, a square and a
parallelogram:
Sometimes there is more than one solution. They're all accepted as long as
they have the same outline. For example the red and the blue figures below
are NOT the same.
gTans features:
- 290 figures.
- Help and solution.
- Most of the game colors and textures are configurable.
- Native Language Support via
GNU gettext.
- Resizeable window.
- The size of the pieces (relative to the game area) may be changed.
- The solved figures are remembered.
Requirements :
- A Linux/Unix machine.
- GTK+ library version 1.2.1 or later.
gTans has been tested on Linux/Intel (Slackware 7.0 and Mandrake 6.0) and
Solaris/Sparc. It works with FreeBSD, probably with Linux/UltraSparc
(version 1.0 did) and maybe other Unices (please let me know).

Additional figures files :
Simply unzip the file (> gunzip somefile.figures.gz). You may
