Hi, Andreas!
Seems that people are slow in responding, so I'll give it a try. I'm
perhaps the second best expert (knowledge, not gameplay...) in the
world on solitaire mahjongg games, so I think I'm qualified.

YES! YES! 'Great' were my first reaction. A game that can use both
tilesets in the 'Kyodai' format and .rkp/reko card sets! A sure winner
in the tile-matching solitaire mahjongg game; I would recommend
heavily on my sites.

But you have some more development and changes to make before it is
truly usable... :-)

First: More layouts (board designs), or it will fast becoming boring.
Mayby you should try to make the game load Kyodai layouts? Some other
games do this already.

[Just make sure you don't distribute the game with Kyodai's own
layouts and/or tilesets; the author will attack you with laywers from
eGames at once; I know from personal experience. Include only some
fan-made layouts and tilesets]

Second: Larger playing / screen size. I only get a 726x565 window on
my desktop and this is to small to be fully playable. Trouble
differensing the tiles.

Follows Third: Larger buttons....

Fourth: 'Accessories' OK - New, Restart, Undo, Hint, Highscore, Help,
Moves, Points, Timer.

Fifth: Two buttons please: One to load rkp and to load kyodai sets

Sixth: 'Extracting tool' ? Do you mean the dialog box when you click
on the button in the bottom right (to open card/tile sets)? It came up
in the language of my win98 installation (Norwegian).

Seventh: Kyodai tilesets loads fine and are playable

Eight: rkp/reko card sets dose not load fine...: and are not
playable. See screenshot here:

Is this how the game is for now or has it something to do with my
inability to run the game in a window only in 726x565 ???

If it's a 'feature', see second point above!... :-)

That's it, Andreas.
Hope you will take it in the friendly spirit it was given, you know
I'm a big fan of your cardsets and the as-solitaire game.

I challenge other's to try Andreas game and come with comments and
nice words...

Regards from Vegard Krog Petersen, Norway
