World: r3wp

um.. nm

;)

Great start.  Feedback

-	Allow full screen: Stretch to fit.
-	Start with larger tiles (some of us are old)

-	Tiles need to be much brighter and higher contrast (yes I know 
I can change this myself).

-	3D effect should center single point perspective, not isometric.
-	Score?
-	Seed value?
-	Help? (shortcuts, etc.)
-	Undo?
-	Timer?
-	When there are no more moves, you should be notified.

hehe - you found my todo list - i didnt have to write it after all 
:)

Speaking of seed value.  Are you randomly setting the board, or "building" 
the board from a known seed?  People hate to play a game that can't 
be won.

you can always reshuffle - but i will be allowing user seeds eventually 
- the code has it just not the interface yet.  same with undo etc

Cool, looks like about 8 hours more and you have a complete game.

:)

im only half way through my original c++ code - most of what you 
mentioned is in that already

You have written this in C++ before?

yup for BeOS

converting to rebol was a big mindset change

altho the original was multithreaded so when R3 comes i might add 
that back in

One of my close friends and x-employees wrote most of the drivers 
for BeOS.

We need a Rebol tile set.  Perhaps someone will build them from famous 
Rebol programmers.

heh

What did you use threads fro?

for

ui, sound, i forget what the other one was for

hmmm.  I'm not sure it needs threading, but OK.

sound is always nice threaded - that way you can layer

True.

Although if sound is written correctly to begin with, then it should 
be threaded internally (since Rebol is interpreted).

i tried under R2 to layer the sound but it was a huge mess :(

Yeah....agreed.

gah - i forgot how hard the ricebowl map was..

unlimited undo completed, hints on the way :)

hints completed + warnings - new version going up now.

direct access to .r file with changes is: http://rebol.mustard.co.nz/mahjong.r
 (assuming you already have images and maps).

are there any other suggestions for simple games that people would 
like to see in rebol?

Fire & Ice
! :-) Oh, not so simple, I guess.

We could make a mini-golf together? I have some code, that is the 
start of such a game.

sounds quite fun :)

I just checked the code. I made it under Linux, and it gives an error 
regarding a "dirty?" variable with View 2.7 under OS X. I can get 
it running with 2.6.

want me to check it in windows XP?

yes 2 sec.

I write you in private.

thx

Mahjong Solitaire updated to do dynamic scaling on resize

for the whole lot

ICarii: "original c++ code" [...] "converting to rebol was a big 
mindset change"  => Maybe I am late but what about a small "REBOL 
for C++ game programming Guide"? It might be in the form of good 
comments in the mahjong.r code or an Article on rebol.org

:) i'll see what i can do - no promises until I get Mahjong fully 
finished :)

Another (non  solitary) game: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/7581

timer/load/save game are done - just trying to see how I should do 
the scoring - whether there are penalties for shuffling, undo etc

If you don't like it I think there are at least another 7580 games 
you can easily find... ;)

im waiting for R3 until i start on 2 player games - I would like 
to make a gaming lobby where you can launch various simple games 
like backgammon etc

ideally hosted within altme :)

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
