After you run the game and it initializes you'll see its main window on the
screen. If everything goes right you will see there a platform with texture.
The game is already started for you with the traditional layout. Hold the
second mouse button and turn the platform to make sure that animations in the
game are fast and smooth enough. If not, go to "Options"->"Options..."
and try to adjust settings so that the game will work faster. Remember that you
can turn the platform with the tiles to change the view during the game. Push
the toolbar button "New" to start a new game. The same action can be
done by pressing Control+N or selecting "New game..." in the File menu.
Rules of Mahjongg
Click on the tiles by pairs to remove them all. The only condition is that they
must both be free : no tile on them, and at least one side free - no tile on
their left or no tile on their right, at least in the original rules. The tiles
must be identical, except if they belong to a Flower or a Season family. In
this case, they have to be from the same family. You will find only one tile of
each kind, i.e. four season tiles and four flower tiles. For the other kinds of
tiles, there are four of each (i.e. two pairs) on the board. If you can't find
any more pairs press "Hint" button on the toolbar to get a hint. You can
also undo your moves up to the beginning of a game using "Undo" and "Redo".
Performance notes
A 3D graphics accelerator is highly recommended to play 2004 Mahjongg. You'll
need a very fast processor to get satisfying performance on a computer without
3D video card. The game works fine with any video card with at least 4Mb RAM,
but some of the options like reflections and shadows require a stencil buffer,
which may be not supported by some old cards. Therefore the first thing to do
to make the game faster is to disable these options. They are marked in the "Visual
options" as the performance critical.
The following steps may also increase the speed of a game:
Try to switch Windows desktop to 16bpp color mode. This is especially
significant if Your 3D video card does not support 32bpp 3D rendering.
Try to make the game's window smaller or decrease desktop resolution. The game
will work faster in software and hardware modes both because there are less
pixels to render.
Using the smaller textures for tiles, background and platform may increase the
speed. You can set any BMP file for the texture in the "Options"->"Textures..."
Make sure you have the latest version of video drivers and all the video
settings in Windows and computer BIOS set to optimal.
Disabling the music can increase the speed on some systems.
Please note that the game supposed to work smoothly and quickly, but the frame
rate in a game is limited. So if your system is fast, it won't be loaded on
100% just to produce a higher frame rate.
If you've tried all of those steps and the game is still slow, freezes, causes
the graphics-related error messages, or shows the blank screen, please send me
an email including the information about your computer configuration, operating
system and the problem you got.
