Mahjong 2: Return of the appmahjong icon

Back to the index

This is an implementation of Mahjong solitaire for the iPod touch and iPhone. The aim of the game is to pick matching tiles, removing them from the board. You win when there are no tiles left. You lose when it is impossible to pick up any more tiles. If the application crashes, it counts as a draw. You can only pick up tiles that are not overlapped by another, and can be freely moved either left or right. You probably already know how to play. This is released as Free (as in Freedom) software, under the terms of the GNU GPL Version 2. Graphic design by Sarah Gleeson.

Bugs

This version has all the bugs I am aware of fixed (woo) but if you come across one, let me know. My email address is somewhere in this image.

Playing

Match tiles until the board is empty or there are no selectable matching tiles left. Pinch the screen to zoom, double-tap the screen to go to the menu. The game is saved automatically when you press the home button, and restored when you launch the application again.

Installing

This app is not hosted in BigBoss' repository; Thank him for that. You can now install the app using Installer.app -- download it from the 'Games' section.

It's also possible to do it the manual way, if you feel like it:
Telecharge the app from the link above, and extract the contents. Copy them to your iPod. Restart Springboard.

tar -zxf Mahjong.app.tar.gz
scp -r Mahjong.app root@omglolhaxedbyfibrosis.local:/Applications/
ssh root@omglolhaxedbyfibrosis.local 'kill -HUP `ps -A|awk '\''/SpringBoard/ && !/awk/{print $1}'\''`'
Where omglolhaxedbyfibrosis is the name of your iTouch/iPhone
If you have Windows, I can't tell you how to install it, I hear it has to do with some software named winSCP.
