News (new threads) http://mahjong.wikidot.com/forum/c-32753/news Threads in the forum category "News" - New stuff added to MJ Wiki. Thu, 05 Mar 2026 10:34:25 +0000 http://mahjong.wikidot.com/forum/t-255266 Video Games http://mahjong.wikidot.com/forum/t-255266/video-games Sat, 24 Jul 2010 15:44:36 +0000 tankbot 62639 I've added an extensive list of mahjong video games for the handhelds and consoles (excluding PC). I haven't check all the titles so I wouldn't be surprised if there were any solitaire games in this list — sorry! By no means is this a complete list. I basically ran a search for 'mahjong' against several ROM sites for titles and then aggregated them.

It was my first attempt to find the absolute and relative frequency of all kinds of kong pung opportunities in a game. I hope you'll all take a look at it, give it some thought, and suggest ways it could be improved to make it more useful.

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:29:50 +0000 Torgo 431549 I have finished my draft of the scoring pattern combinatorics page. Sorry I'm not sure how to link to it, but check Recent Changes on the left bar. I invite everyone to review, comment, and question it. I'll start a thread in the forum.

Possible improvements:

* Someone should check my numbers. I wrote a program that actually counts the combinations, but I'm not sure the results are perfect.
* More scoring systems could be added to the table.
* More scoring patterns can easily be added, and should be easy to work out.

I've already seen Hello Kitty 2009 mahjong sets on ebay (although they have it listed as year of the cow???) Anyways, I have a feeling this is a good year for mahjong.

I first launched this site to coincide with the year of the rat (Feb 7, 2008) with a goal to make mahjong more accessible to English-speaking players. A year has gone by and we've made a lot of progress and yet a lot more progress can still be made. I'm still looking for contributors. If you would like to write, edit, translate, or share your love and knowledge of mahjong feel free to join.

Keep a look out for upcoming changes. tankbottankbot

UPDATE 1/30/09
I decided to give our tile set a little umph by applying some of my photoshop skills to the mangan font. Hope you enjoy.

I hope to include additional content to MJ Wiki. Ideally topics I've had in mind are:

  • Anime
  • Books
  • Equipment
  • Movies
  • Online Play
  • Video Games
  • Rules
  • Symbolism
  • Tournaments

Keep checking back on updates and excuse me for any broken links, etc. I'm working on it.

]]> http://mahjong.wikidot.com/forum/t-54492 New Rules Coming Later http://mahjong.wikidot.com/forum/t-54492/new-rules-coming-later Sat, 19 Apr 2008 05:00:50 +0000 tankbot 62639 I've gotten a chance to go to the library and pick up a couple of books namely Jelte Rep's The Great Mahjong Book and Shozo Kanai's Mahjong For Beginners. I've been using these along with the 4 Winds MJ knowledge base to create new rules pages. It's a bit difficult because scoring elements for a few of these do not agree with one another and sometimes rules are not specific. I have to infer quite a few things so forgive me in advance if I've stated a few rules wrong. Feel free to add a comments module to a page for discussion.
