Mahjong solitaire OGS Mahjong grew to version 0.8

    It has become a good tradition to write here about the development of the OGS project and the OGS Mahjong game in particular.
    Constantly two people give their free time to the project: me and kornerr , but two more people helped about this version, which will be discussed below.

    Even leisurely work brings results. A day ago, version 0.8 was released.


    They worked mainly on fixing problems, but there are several new features.

    • The operation of the car camera is improved, rotation restrictions are changed, the ability to disable restrictions is added.
    • Improved interface. Added previews of layouts and saved games.
    • Added the ability to highlight even layers.
    • Fixed closing the game by clicking on Q.
    • Fixed installation issues in / usr / games on Linux systems.
    • Debian packages for Debian have been compiled (compatible with Ubuntu and Mint).
    • The second alpha version of the layout editor has been prepared ( lies here ).
    • Improved translation support. The German version is fixed, for which thanks to Dirk Pervoltz, who read the text and sent his corrections.
    • New chip models are connected. Highly detailed and medium models have undergone changes. For them we are grateful to Timur Malikin. We hope for his further participation in the project.
    • Three music tracks from Kevin MacLeod and Dan-O were also added (thanks to them too, although they didn’t try for us).
