Hi all,

I have just finished to code a Mahjong game which is excellent. Surely the most beautiful you have ever seen.

Here is a link for downloading it: http://www.in-poculis.com/mahjongdemo.dmg

The homepage for the Mahjong game is: http://www.in-poculis.com/site/mahjong.html

It works perfectly at home on a MacBook Intel 10.5.4 but I don't know about the other configurations. Can you test it and if it fails can you tell me?

Thanks a lot,
Bernard.

Hi,

Just letting you know this is actually Mah Jong Solitaire. Mah Jong is a 4 person game similar to Rummy. It's a pretty fun game.

I'm trying to get makers of the solitaire games to change their titles to solitaire.

Here's a link about the real game.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong

sloperama.com has a ton of info too :)

That's interesting because I'm always disappointed when a new mah-jongg came comes out and it's solitaire. My Jewish grandma used to tell me all about her games and how she tended to cheat, and I learned the game from my elderly Greek friend. I've wondered why the AMJA or someone hasn't gotten on board with a good PC version. I know you can play on Yahoo Games but it's closer to the Chinese version than the one I play, so I gets confused. :confused:

Ok to add "Solitaire" but only on the website because it would be too much work to change everything.

I know about the real Mah Jong game, I have 2 of them at home :) Maybe that one day I'll code a real Mahjong game, now that I have to find a new project to work on at home... wait & see.

Cheers,
Bernard.
Note: you didn't tell me if you liked it...

Mahjong games that are really solitaire bug me too. A couple years ago I found Mahjong Tradition, which is actually Mahjong.
