Sorry that a serious bug was just pointed out to me in the iOS version (iPad,iPhone) version of JLMahJongg. If you quit a game, then you can’t restart a new game without it hanging. For now please use the online version or after you quit, close the app completely before starting a new game (swipe up from the bottom, then swipe the app off the screen).

I will work on fixing as soon as I can.

This update fixes a number of bugs. The most important bug fixes are in the tutorial/demo.

For the next update we plan to add a feature that shows the history of your winning hands. We are also working on making the app available for Windows through the Microsoft Store.

Found a few more bugs in 9.9.4. Update 9.9.5 is in process of being reviewed and distributed. The main bug fixes are for the Advanced Setup options for Custom Tiles and Game Type.

Thanks again for trying JLMahJongg and any feedback you can give.

Working on Update 9.9.4. This update fixes several bugs. The main ones are a problem with the cards that specify “Any Jokers”. Not generating all the hands it should. The odds calculation for the hand with 2 pairs of the same value are not correct. Trying to fix that. Not sure the odds calculation are exactly correct yet.

Draft updates for 9.9.4 should be available for the online versions and the Windows version. Need to get the other versions approved.

The “older” web version (right button) has been updated. It is for iOS devices (iPad and iPhone) that don’t work with the latest browser code.

I suspect update 9.9.2 is not working because no one has been able to play today, except me. Sorry, if that is the case. I updated the card editor to fix a problem & any old saved cards will not work. I have update 9.9.3 in process. 9.9.3 should be available to download for Windows and Android now. Updates for iOS and macos are submitted for review by Apple. After you update, you might need to go to the Options menu and press the “Purge Cards” button to remove the stored cards that no longer work. If you can’t get to the Options menu, and are still having a problem, please let me know.

Thanks,
John

Sorry for the problem yesterday. Green dragon tile accidentally deleted.

I managed to break the web version with the latest updates. The tiles sometimes don’t display and are blank. If you download the app it appears to still work. Sorry. I will work on fixing it tomorrow.

I apologize for the erratic availablility of the app and the JL2025 card over the last few days. I am working on another update, 9.9.2, that should be ready soon. This update:

1. Lets you add your own custom tile set to the app
2. Fixes the save game feature
3. Eliminates a few unused features
4. Adds the ability to call other players dead
5. Adds an alternate card color scheme for colorblind players and makes the green and red dragons distinguishable to the colorblind
6. Does not allow quitting a game without score penalty unless using game type “Fun”
7. Fixes some minor bugs
8. Gives correct score for the “Finesse”
9. Recognizes Heavenly and Earthly hands (good luck!)

Please see the updated manual for details.
