Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Yes, my inspiration was the 19th century tangram puzzle, which had 7 pieces called tans.I too have memories of playing that in my childhood, it used to be fun. Netflix has a game called shapes that is exactly Tangram but web based
Growing up we had a physical version of it: a stack of a hundred large cards with progressively more difficult outlines of various shapes along with a bag of simple geometric pieces (triangles, diamonds, etc.). The goal was to fill each outline perfectly using the fewest number of pieces, which was printed on the card.
