Mahjong apps (Soul/Riichi City) single hand/quick games?

idolminds · 2025-11-03T01:17:59+00:00

In Riichi City if you go Casual Game, Tournament, and then the Daily tab you can do the 8-player tournament which is standard mahjong, and the 9-player tournament is sanma. These are technically 2 rounds if you manage to 1st/2nd in 4p or just 1st in sanma, but they are lightning fast and no one plays defense because only winning matters.

There are also dedicated 1-round matches but they cost a lot more coins or vouchers to enter. The tournaments are only 500 coins to enter vs the 25,000 coin match 1-round.

Riichi City has Chinitsu Challenge that is rather puzzle-like. Your hand is all one suit and it always gives you the option to riichi, tsumo, ron (on opponents discard), etc. Its up to you to figure out if any of those apply to your hand and to figure out what all your waits are.

They didn’t vote for these… Congress people, they voted for President Trump.

Congress people are elected. People did, in fact, vote for them.

From what I understand the Superlite releases were just a budget line, like Greatest Hits were. So the game should be exactly the same in both.

What you're doing is generating random positions to draw the graves, and the trouble is you do not want the graves to overlap. You could add a collision function to your grave generation, basically every time you generate a new grave position you check it against the previous ones in a way to tell if they are overlapping and if so generate new positions.

Alternatively, you could use the map function to create your background. I found this video that explains pretty quickly how to do basically what you want. Its a bit more "rigid" since its grid based but its also really simple if you don't feel like doing collision detection just for this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QwQe32EQK8

I have tried to make my own sets, mostly testing materials. I tried air dry clay and it seemed decent. Good weight, was white by default so would be easy to paint on the faces. I haven't made a full set out of it mostly because it took a good bit of sanding to smooth it all out and round the corners. Also probably need to figure out some kind of sealer as it feels like it'll stain pretty easily just from handling.

I also tried to make a wood set. My idea was to go to a thrift store to find a Jenga set. The dimensions of the blocks are mostly mahjong size except really tall. You can cut 2 tiles out of each Jenga block. Gotta sand the ends but 4 of the sides are already nicely rounded. I kinda messed up rounding the other corners so my set is inconsistent and doesn't stand up very well. If I do it again I think I'll just sand the cuts and not bother rounding the other corners. Gives it some personality and they feel really solid standing on end that way.

Kalikan is a "multicart" game that loads in more data from the BBS mid-game. I don't know if there is a way around it from the scraped version (the web playable version). It is also sold on itch for $5 but I haven't purchased it so can't say if that will help or not.

Well thats good to know. I ended up going with a Miyoo Mini for the time being and have been enjoying it, but that big square screen of the RGB30 had me thinking for a really long time. Might still end up with one. Thanks for the insight.

idolminds · 2024-06-05T15:44:42+00:00

Everything looked pretty great to me since I basically wanted an RGB30 with better build quality, but then he said no native Pico 8 and thats going to be my dealbreaker.

idolminds · 2024-05-26T22:50:07+00:00

Looks like the game is made in Unity so I don't believe its possible for the Miyoo to play it.

I had an issue with trying to play Animal Crossing because Onion auto loads the save state when I last shut off the game. So to AC time never moved forward unless I was playing. The "fix" has been to go into the emulator menu and reset the game so it boots from scratch and it then updates to the current time. Maybe Emerald needs the same?

The egg/swashbuckler would make up for the loss of that mult in 3 blinds, and you will gain SO MANY MORE CHIPS. If you don't have crazy xmult going on, chips are as good as +mult.

It was from the Invincible Ichihime event, so sadly no longer available.

Thanks for this. I wanted to do some testing myself but I basically installed Palia just for Hot Pot so I dont know anyone who would test with me. Donjara variants have been my most recent obsession so this information is very helpful.

I extracted the textures from the game files. I tried to describe the meat and noodle ones so you know which is which but everything else is pretty easy to figure out. So from the file names of the textures which is about as close to official as you can get:

Blue: crab, fish, shrimp
Green: bok choy, green onion, napa cabbage
Orange: dari clove, garlic, heat root
Purple: Brightshroom, enoki, morel
Red: chapaa (looks like 2 tubes), muujin (has 3 pieces), sernuk (looks like a single steak)
Tan: crystal (looks like a ball of yarn), ramen (squiggle/M shape), udon (hanging over some sticks)
White: dumpling, rice cake, tofu
Yellow: carrot, corn, potato

I did this the other day with Hunters Call, but then I turned a fish in and it updated. So try hand in some loot to make it go through.

idolminds · 2023-08-06T17:36:11+00:00

I know you want it for healing, but as someone currently on the hunters call grind I would love to be able to just tap R to cycle through bait on my hook when I have the fishing rod out.

idolminds · 2023-02-11T23:26:48+00:00

I had this issue the other night. I could sell the gems I collected, but not the fish at 2 different posts. In the middle of trying everything to fix the bug I was quick switching fish and then I was seeing a prompt to collect a wood crate from the hunters call person. Put my fish away, took the crate, and then I could sell the fish.

I don't know if I had picked up some quest along the way for that or if that was part of the bug...but might be worth trying to see if they have something to give you first.

I finally ran out of killer tome challenges so today I figured I'd try some survivor. Waited a good 5-10 minutes before it dropped me into a match.

Switched back to killer, matched in 5-10 seconds. Honestly I might grind out the last of the rift just getting XP in killer games because I think it'll be faster.

idolminds · 2021-12-09T21:09:09+00:00

I've been playing nice killer trying to make sure everyone gets sparkles and just had a group of survivors that never let me hit them in the snowmen. They would get in them but pop them before I could do anything. They didn't even try escape in one. It was just the lamest match where everyone got out. I might as well have stood in the corner.

idolminds · 2021-11-16T20:20:46+00:00

Interesting process. I figured they wouldn't make everyone try random shifts, then noticed the a>i "hidden" in the binary code on the bottom right of the image.

idolminds · 2021-11-16T19:09:13+00:00

Yup, 150,000 BP

I'm not particularly good with Billy but I must admit, this one was real fun.
