World: r3wp

Some time ago I was writing an Ants game (originally written in Peter 
Language 1 player vs computer) and wanted to port it to REBOL with 
2 player (online too)

Want it?

i think altme has wonderful potential as a lobby site - we just need 
to get an altme approved api interface before making games

re - ants - perhaps a little later - Geomal has passed a golf game 
for me to ook at first :)

OK, you know where to find me if you quickly finish the golf game...

:)

Mahjong updated with save/load, scoring, timer, fixed ricebowl map 
and other general craziness.  http://rebol.mustard.co.nz/mahjong.zip
 or http://rebol.mustard.co.nz/mahjong.rif you dont care about the 
bad ricebowl.map

not to happy with the general rendering performance im now seeing 
but ill do cleanup tomorrow hopefully.

scoring is pretty basic at the moment.  -100 for a shuffle, -10 for 
a hint, +10 for a successful removal.

save/load does NOT currently save score/timer - ill fix that tomorrow

running the .r file directly doesn't work for me (its missing the 
tiles...)

yes, you have to download zip

.r file is just for updaters who already have resources :)  altho 
i did fix the ricebowl.map in this update

had 2 extra tiles in the map for some reason.. was causing unfinishable 
games :(

very nice game icarii    :-D

:) ty

im still a little unhappy with its fullscreen redraw in 1280x1024 
but beggers cant be choosers ;)

I was hoping for the other 'mahjong'.....

that may happen one day :)

but waiting on the altme 3 game lobby

the tiles does not looks bright enough for me.


Am I the only one with this problem? is there an easy way to change 
that?

reichart mention trhat too

just edit the tileset :)

i just scanned my mahjong set at home - they are ivory so they are 
dull after 100 years :)

well.. maybe 80 years ;)

the only hard thing about creating the multiplayer version of mahjong 
is the infernal scoring :(  So many differetn variations

leave it to the players to do the scoring

yes but then you need to decide on the hands allowed as well depending 
on teh variation played

eg. classical Chinese vs Hong Kong vs Taiwanese vs American

Personally i like the classical Chinese hands with a few of the 1920's 
American hands like knitting/double knitting thrown in :)

interesting..never know about American?

I also found it a  bit tough to separate a few tiles, cause the contrast 
is a bit too low.

hmm.. i used a standard tileset format so ill post a link to compatible 
tilesets.. brb

http://www.lelldorin.de/beos/

has alternative bright tilesets

would it be hard to make a button which basically does ?:


write/binary %tileset.png  read/binary  http://www.lelldorin.de/beos/whatevertiles.png

with watevertiles.png   pointing to other tiles (one tileset per 
button)

other mahjong have this and its actually quite cool.

if i can get them to load - im getting 404 errors here

at persent id reccommend lledorin tileset 1 for brightness and clarity

i just found some nice Kyodai Mahjong tilesets - ill write an import 
for them as well

Any plans for an OpenGL version with perspective 3D tiles?

when R3 is released and someone writes the OpenGl plugin :P

but ive got a MMORPG to do in openGL before that :)

just waiting on async ports in R3

then the server will be ready

There are 2 OpenGL implementations for REBOL already. One by Cyphre, 
that require REBOL/Command (I think), and mine requiring GLServer 
(compiled C program, only for OS X so far).

winXP here :)

and i could use the sdk i have here but then its no use to users

i need the GL to be accessible from v standard view
