Changes: xmahjongg version 3 is a complete rewrite by Eddie Kohler <eddietwo at lcs dot mit dot edu> of xmahjongg versions 1 and 2 by Jeff S. Young <jsy at cray dot com>. Features - Those pretty, round-edged colored tiles - Multiple tile sets (it comes with ten) - Multiple layouts (it comes with twenty-four) - Undo and redo - Helpful hints for happy play, and a clean button for cheating - Boards that are always solvable (but you can turn this feature off) - It can show you a solution - Aesthetics (or ugliness, depending on your taste) - We regret to report some featurecide relative to version 2: there are no tournaments, no visible board numbers, and no layout configuration mode. May these features rest in peace, probably forever. Since the license of the rewritten versions is GPL, the binary package can be redistributed and the restriction was removed.

Mah Jongg is an ancient chinese game usually played by four players, named
|
|
after the four winds, who take tiles similar to dominos from a wall in turn.
|
|
|
|
THEORY OF PLAY
|
|
The object of the game is to remove all the tiles from the board. Tiles are
|
|
removed in by matching two identical tiles which have either an open left edge
|
|
or open right edge. The only exception to this rule is that any open "flower"
|
|
tile (bamboo, orchid, plum, or chrysanthemum) matches any other open "flower"
|
|
tile and any open "season" tile (spring, summer, autumn, or winter) matches
|
|
any other open "season" tile.
