JL2025 Card Coming Soon to JLMahJongg

Hi. In case you’re keeping track of our update progress: I just finished updates to support the 2025 card. Lisa finished creating an Intermediate1 card option & I am going to enter that now. Then I should be ready to clean up the code and publish the updated app (goal is by the end of today). I probably will need to fix a few things later because we’re not testing much so we can get the JL2025 card out ASAP.

Also need to update the manual. I’ll at least put the new Basic2 and Intermediate1 cards in there so you can print them out and use them, if you like.

Remember: if you want your own account, just ask me. There is some limit to how many I will add, so the first people who ask will get their own account. You are welcome to continue using the Guest0, Guest1, Guest2, Guest3, and Tester1 accounts.

If you want to continue using the old version of the app for some reason, you may need to run it in offline mode at some point. That is because I plan to stop maintaining the status data on the internet that version needs.

Update coming soon!

Hi all you Mah Jongg lovers. Thanks for using our app. Is anyone enjoying it? Please let us know what you think.

Congrats to all you players who have racked up a impressive scores and big wins.

We got our NMJL 2025 cards today. So we will have an update with a JL2025 card option soon. The next update will also include: bug fixes, new Basic2 and Inter1 cards (intermediate, a little harder than Basic cards), and a new feature (called training for now) that lets you enter any tiles (13 or 14) or quickly generate random tiles you can use to practice what hand, group, and passed tiles to select.

There are 6 new line types on the 2025 card; so it will take a few days to implement these. Also note that there is one (at least) error on the card. The 2468 group line 4, is shown with all sets in blue (normally would indicate only 1 suit), but it has to have three suits, as noted in the text. Otherwise, you would need 6 twos of the same suit (could do with Jokers, but that is not what was indended due to the text). So the 2468 should be in green, the first 222 in red, and the 2nd 222 in blue.

There are also some JLMahJongg updates under the hood to make the app easier to manage (for me) and more stable (for you). The training update will also help me to test the odds calculations. I am also updating to the latest game engine, Godot 4.4.

Have fun.
