Hi. Update 10.1.0 is available as of 1 Jan 2026. Here is a summary of changes:
- Red and green dragons now have G and R on them so they can be distinguished by anyone colorblind.
- Playing against more than 1 other real player should now work (tested with 3 real players, have not tested 4 yet).
- The default server is now jlbeachhouse.com instead of jlmahjongg-te7287h1dv.live-website.com/. The x10.mx server has been unreliable for use with playing other real players. I know that most, if not all, users other than us only play against bots. But if you do want to play against other real players, that should be better now. jlbeachhouse.com is our business server and is more reliable, but sometimes can be slow. If you don't play against other real players, it should not matter which server you use. Please see the updated manual for how to set up to play with other real players.
- At the beginner skill level the app lets you try to call any tile, even those you can’t call. It was up to you to figure out that you can’t call the tile and cancel the call. I expect most beginners just thought that the app was stuck and got mad. If a beginner calls a tile they can’t call now, the app shows a message explaining why and what to do.
- The network interface has been further simplified. There are effectively only 2 network options, HTTP and Direct. Use direct for playing with someone in the same household on the same wifi network. Use HTTP for anyone else (not on your local wifi network, if you have one). You can use HTTP on a local wifi too, but it is much slower than direct.
- There is a new network input that lets people play over the network in different time zones. Previously, the app would automatically log one of the users out because it thought they were offline (time difference). Now you can disable the automatic logout due to time difference. Please don’t disable this unless you need to because auto logging out helps make the app available to more people.
- The pro computer player (bot) logic has been upgraded to try to score higher and the finesse logic has been improved.
- There are a number of minor bug fixes and upgrades.
- A new update of the Godot game engine the app uses was just released and we have updated that. I don’t know if that changes anything that you will notice.
As always, please let us know if you have any suggestions, comments, or questions.
Thank You!
John & Lisa
