Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Enclosed is my Mahjongg Solitaire game for CMM2. It does require a mouse; I couldn't find a way to use keyboard commands only that would be an enjoyable user experience.

Enjoy!

Thanks, Peter! The tile images are taken from Wikimedia Commons. I experimented with using 12-bit graphics with an overlay to produce 'grayed out' tiles, but in the end it was simpler and more reliable just to use 2 sets of tiles, one at full brightness and one dimmed in Photoshop.

Hello Bill,
on CMM2.fun is the link wrong again...  
You should insert there the same path as is here:
right https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/uploads/William%20Leue/2022-06-08_042559_Mahjongg.zip
wrong http://thebackshed.com/mahjongg.zip

How about making a version that is compatible with both mouse and nunchuck?

Sorry, but I don't find the Nunchuk to be a good pointing device; it is too imprecise. The WII classic controller is somewhat better but still crappy to use for pointing to a particular spot. I can't see any way to make using either an enjoyable user experience.

Sorry about that! I understand all of the components of that URL except the '042559'. Is that the time?  If so, I don't see how I could know the correct value for that field. Please advise.

Thanks!

Hi Bill,

Having uploaded your file to TBS right-click on the link to that file in the forum post and select "Copy link address". Your clipboard will now contain the full download URL which you need to provide when adding the entry to CMM2.fun.

Better yet, create a free GitHub account and upload your programs there; if you want some hand-holding I can try to find some time.

Best wishes,

Tom

Thanks Tom! Actually I am quite used to Git; used it extensively at work before I retired.

I will have to think about using GitHub; I think that for most users, getting the ZIP file directly from TheBackShed is easier.

Whilst it's meant to host source, Git and GitHub can just as easily host .zip files if that is what you want. Then just post the appropriate links here and on CMM2.fun.

It would save Gizmo storage, increases the chance of someone stumbling upon your work, and I dare say GitHub is likely to have more permanance than TBS ... I hope there is a disaster recovery plan for the latter, it would be a shame if the only means of contact of this community were lost.

Best wishes,

Tom
