Colour your tangrams, user tangrams, or mosaic designs using the colour chooser control

by

On the bottom left of the tangram screen is a new colour chooser control. By clicking on this control different colours can be selected. By changing the scale control the brightness of the colours can also be changed. Once you find a colour that you like you can change the colour of the tangram shape by clicking on one of the shape types. You can also change the colour of the background by clicking on the background. By using different coloured pieces in the user tangram mode interesting mosaic designs can be created such as shown beloram mosaic”>

By first clicking on the colour chooser and releasing the mouse button on the tangram piece (equivalent to dragging a colour from the colour chooser to a piece) each tangram piece in play can be individually coloured. The image below shows an example of individually coloured pieces used in a pattern.

To remove the colour from a piece click on the piece and release the mouse button on the puzzle area background. Setting the colour of an individual piece overrides the colour setting for the piece type. To restore the colour for the piece type remove the individual colour. If the piece type colour is removed, the colour of the piece type defaults to grey.

Full screen mode

by

The MegaTangram puzzle has a full screen mode that can be started by clicking on the full screen button. Clicking again on the button goes back to normal webpage mode (in Firefox you may need to use the escape key, on Opera by right clicking it can be found as a menu option).

Full screen mode has been tested and is working well using Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera (12.1) web browsers, it is untested on safari but should work, to my knowledge fullscreen mode is not supported by internet explorer browsers.

Unfortunately for those with iPads and Android tablets, the fullscreen API is not supported on mobile browsers is not supported to my knowledge, however since the webpage resizes to suit the browser page width you can anyway get close to full screen size.
