Video Mahjong Cheat Sheet

Here is a one-page cheat/summary sheet for Video Mahjong games that I used to help remember the tiles, wind order, scoring stick values and - most importantly - some of the more basic Yaku to achieve when you are first learning to play. It is not comprehensive - it is meant to be a one-page referenc...

Re: POLL: Introduction forum & profile info

Since this was my suggestion I will lobby for it publicly here. First, I feel that an introduction thread is quite distinct from Profile info - the latter is for people who have already joined. The former helps attract people who are on the fence and perhaps lurking already. Profile info doesn't hel...

Re: Homemade Mahjong Controller

Re: Homemade Mahjong Controller

For all my previous arcade controllers I typically rip apart a defenseless keyboard or mouse (or both) and wire it up. Witness one of my big homemade arcade controllers: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/45934553/big_controller.jpg In this case, the buttons and joystick are wired up to the keyboard. The spin...

Introduction Forum

One small suggestion I'd have is to have an introduction forum or perhaps just a pinned introduction thread where new forum members can introduce themselves.

Homemade Mahjong Controller

Hi all (my first post!), I've been playing quite a bit of Video Mahjong over the years - partially by trial and error and then later with really helpful guides like the ones Bart wrote.
