This version has finally corrected some bugs. However, there is nothing well made that cannot be enhanced or improved: it bothers me that I often need to reshuffle a game. What if there's an option in the game's preferences for 'automatic reshuffle' so reshuffling doesn't affect the 'time' score so much… just an idea..
Would be nice if folks writing software to play Mah Jong would do so and call it that, while people writing one of these tile matching games (which I'm not knocking) would call it something appropriate!
Damejong is the ONLY Mac Mah Jong software app I've seen in ages.
Please don't use acronyms on your DLs. And tag them with full version number so we can tell them apart.
It just makes it hard to find on your HD afterwards.

Although the GUI is good I had a problem insofar as I had no music that accompanies this app. I made 3 seperate requests elucidating the problem and finally got an answer to make sure the Sound panel was configured properly (something I mentioned in every email to the developer) Ridiculous and inept support from an inattentive developer translates into the STRONG possibility that if YOU have a problem it will be handled in a likewise fashion. In short I feel I wasted my money!

HOGWASH!!! I never spammed any such applications. I gave an HONEST accouunt of the facts as they really were. In fact I own another of this author's apps and gave it an exemplery review when I installed it. I rightfully criticised his handling of my support requests. If he feels I spammed his other applications without installing them then he is not only distorting the facts (once again) but suffering from delusions. I can PROVE my contentions of his handling of my requests for support. I would NEVER act with malice to criticise applications I did not install or attempt to dishonor anyone. I called it the way it was.THE HONEST WAY. I take grave umbrage at his spurious and malicious allegationswhich are so transparent.

The feature i'd like to see from Shanghai is the ability to put my own graphics on the tiles!
Use ResEdit or BBEdit to put you're own graphics on the tiles.

My big beef - everyone's Mahjong games on Mac OS X use anti-ailiased graphics - the old Shanghi game from Activision has not yet been surpassed with it clear non-fuzzy tiles!

Totally agree. ELected to hack my own graphics into the Konfabulator Shanghai widget as a stopgap measure, hehehe.

Absolutely gorgeous. Finally someone manages to get it... well, mostly right. There's still the annoying MIDI music. Let's hope for a proper music implementation in an update. (A simple dropping of MP3s and AACs into the music folder would be nice.)
Also, as a Shanghai clone, the play oughta be updated to be more engaging. How about this? Make it so the tiles can intermittently grow legs, get up, and walk to another side of the table. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Thanks! It has a music playlist editor that can play MP3/AAC/etc but I agree it's still a little goofy sound wise. I'll work on it.
Next release is the "Everything works as it should do" release, should be out in two weeks. It'll also have another graphics jump.

On the Mac, still the same old Shanghai after all these years. No wait. Decades! On the PC, it's taken on a totally different form... for many years now. It's called Kyodai Mahjongg.

And how hard can it be to program something in 3D? Look at GLTron! Besides, there are free 3D programming resources.

At this rate, I'd be happy to shell out 30 bucks just for a good copy of Kyodai Mahjongg for OS X. Anybody else with me?

I'm a switcher and the only program I miss from my PC days is Kyodai MahJong. Like the last post, I would pay good money for a Mac version.

I prefer www.glennsgames.com. He's got a great mahjong game.

Perhaps subconsciously wanted to. Already reviewed it for 3 stars. WAY too americanized, simplified, and dumbed down. Like Mah Jong for 8 year olds.
