The four player Chinese tile game, known commonly as Mah-Jong, is commonly shortened to mj by experienced chinese players. MJ is a macOS program for mj players of all skill levels. Perhaps due to the many dialects of Chinese and issues with English transliterations, the game has become known to be called by anything tolerably close to mah-jong. Compare even the Chinese variants {(麻雀, Mah Jeuk, cantonese, original), (麻將, Mah Jeung, cantonese, modern), (麻將, Ma Jiang, mandarin)}. MJ is currently a single human player game – not to be confused with a solitaire style game – with configurable computer opponents. Network play is planned. MJ’s main features include:
- user-focused design
- custom vector graphics
- Chinese-Classic rules
- customizable scoring rules
- competitive computer opponents
- comprehensive manual
Requirements
- macOS v10.6 or later
Notes
