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 :)

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

tilesets.. brb

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.

for them as well

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
and ideally it needs to work in linux, windows and osx

Mahjong also has Italian rules afaik, it was imported, I don't know 
when or by whom, in central Italy. It is also played in Japan and 
I had a Japanese computer game of Mahjong that it's defined unplayable 
by Chinese people I know.

About the tileset: on Linux I had problems with the capitalised filename 
as %TileSet.png differs from %tileset.png

re the tileset name - thanks for mentioning that - i thought i'd 
caught them all - obviously not :)

Do you produce all the graphics yourself?
ICarii

Especially the small drawings with number on top is great. How do 
you produce them?
