Game history
Tapa was developed in 2007 by Turkish puzzle designer Serkan Yürekli. If Sudoku, nonograms and many other similar games first appeared in printed form (in magazines, collections), and only then were transferred to the computer, then Tapa was originally created for digital platforms, and was written in the JavaScript programming language for the “Internet test on solving puzzles" (Internet Puzzle Solvers Test).
In the first years after the appearance of the puzzle, it was appreciated only by testers and a few adherents of the genre. World fame came to this game in 2009, after the World Puzzle Championship, held in Antalya (Turkey). Tapa was included in the list of other championship games, and received high marks from both participants and spectators.
It is noteworthy that Tapa is an abbreviation of Turkish Art Paint, or T-Paint as it was originally called by Serkan Yürekli.
Since 2007, the game has undergone a huge number of changes and improvements; hundreds of versions of this Turkish puzzle can be found online. Today it is known all over the world. The game has become a true classic - it's hard to find a high-level competition that doesn't feature at least one Tapa puzzle.
