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.

Thanks to feedback from the Facebook Group “Mah Jongg, That’s It!” we have improved our app. The user interface is simplified and improved. A few updates are not quite ready yet, but coming soon:

• Add your own custom tiles!
• Options for calling other players dead and turning auto calling of Mah Jongg off
• Additonal bug fixes and display optimization

Thanks for trying our app and any feedback!

Thank you to all those from “Mah Jongg, That’s It” on facebook who tried our app. Particularly those who gave helpful feedback. Sophie spent over 4 hrs until after 4 am reviewing the app with me over video chat. I am still updating based on the feedback I received. Some of the updates are available now in the web and windows versions. Final updates for the Apple and Google versions will take longer because they have to be approved by Apple, Google, (and Lisa).

The main update is to the beginner interface. I tried to simplify it. I plan to add some video tutorials on how to start and use the app.

The feature to resume a game is not currently working, so I disabled and need to fix that. I am also working on updating the documentation for these changes.

Thanks again!

This update is available for all devices except Linux. If you want to use Linux, let me know and I will update the Linux version.

This update tries (again) to fix the record score posting. It also adds a 4th female voice (thanks Juliana). The 4th voice is not used by default (I forgot to change it), but you can change the voices under sound options. The HTTP interface is more stable now and appears to work reliably for 2 real players. There are a few other minor bug fixes too.

Thanks,

John & Lisa

FYI. Just in case anyone is trying to play against another real player using the HTTP or HTTPS protocol, you can’t do that right now. There is still a problem with the security certificate and accessing the files on the web site from the app. Playing against all computer players should still be OK.

Hi again,

Update 9.9.11 is currently in the approval process. It is a minor update, but has many minor fixes. I plan to require this update to prevent older versions from being used that cause problems. Sorry for any inconvenience. One fix is to the sound recording – so if you want to record custom voices, you should be able to do that now (voice recording is not enabled on iOS devices, but I might be able to fix this in the next upgrade). I plan to add a 4th female voice in the next upgrade, so if you don’t like my voice, you may have a better choice soon.

It has been about a year since we released JLMahJongg. We have still only received 1 comment. We would still love any feedback. You can post to this website, send us email, or any other way you like.

JLMahJongg was not originally designed to have multiple people using the same user account. However, so far, this is how most people are playing. We have also not seen anyone playing against other real people. If you are interested in this please let us know. We will be designing the next major upgrade soon. We might simplify and remove unused features. You can request your own username account, if you play regularly and want to keep your own progress and not conflict with other players. If anyone plans to play against other real players, each player must be using a different account.

Thanks again for playing.

I just noticed that sound recording is not enabled in the app. Nobody has complained so I guess nobody has wanted to record custom voices. Also working on a few other recent bugs that were found.

Also let me know if you want your own account. Quite a few people are using Guest0 and Guest1.

Sorry for having to update so much.

Thanks for playing.

John

Hi & thanks again for playing.

This latest update has bug fixes for setting and using passwords on private accounts and tries to fix a bug with storing best scores. I’m not sure if the best scores problem is fixed yet because it is too hard to get enough best scores to fully test.
