The classic UNIX xmahjongg for Python 3
Project description
python rewrite of the original xmahjongg-game from 1989:
https://www.lcdf.org/xmahjongg/
The python implementation does not need the X11 files anymore, however the name is still ‘pyxmahjongg’.
Run the program
python pyxmahjongg.py -h
Use the optional -h flag for help to change colors and layouts.
Requirements
Requires ‘pillow’ for image-handling.
‘pyxmahjongg’ is developed with Python 3.6 and and pillow 4.0.0 and not tested with earlier versions.
Remarks
This implementation uses the same layout-files as the original one but just the dorothys tileset. Excerpt from the original documentation:
The default tileset was originally created in color by Dorothy Robinson <mokuren@teleport.com> with Mark A. Holm <markh@aracnet.com>. The publically available version was in black-and-white. Holm copyrighted the tiles in 1988, giving permission to copy and distribute for non-profit purposes. The significantly altered color version that comes with xmahjongg was created by Eddie Kohler in later years.
License
Because of the original license it is permitted to use the tileset for non-profit purposes. As a consequence any commercial uses of this program and the used tileset is prohibited. Furthermore the usage of this program is entirely at your own risk.
