Excerpt of article text...

Introduction

This is the sixth of six articles in which we are building a puzzle game called TanGram. As you may recall from the previous articles, TanGram is a game where players drag around polygonal shapes and arrange them to make pictures. As a challenge, players are presented with pre-created pictures that they must recreate, and players can also save their own pictures to challenge their friends.

This is our final TanGram article and I plan to concentrate on the finishing touches, such as the about box and the application icon -- things that will give our application a polished look and make it ready to ship.
