The object is deceptively simple: just remove all the tiles from the board, two at a time. If you've ever played this classic Mah Jongg solitaire game before, though, you already know it's not quite that easy...

You/ve probably seen other electronic adaptations of this game, both commercial and shareware. There was one for practically every platform, but HP LX palmtop owners were left out... until now. Tiles/LX has many of the features you've come to expect from a Mah Jongg solitaire game, including:

Graphical tiles
Standard 144-tile layout
Display of remaining tiles, on demand
Display of available moves, on demand
Load and save games (registered version)

Tiles/LX uses the Palmtop Application Library to provide a standard HP-style user interface.

Tiles/LX will run on desktop PCs running DOS, provided that an appropriate graphics driver is used.

System Requirements

Tiles/LX runs on the HP100LX and HP200LX palmtops. It requires approximately 30K of disk space on either the internal RAM disk or a memory card, and requires 100K of memory to run. An Application Manager icon is provided.

Distribution

Tiles/LX is shareware. Registration costs US$10, and enables the save game feature. Instructions on how to register are provided in the distribution package, as well as in the program itself.

Version History

v1.01b (October 25, 1996): Now allows space bar to select tiles.
v1.01a (October 16, 1996): Changed load and save options to use standard file selection dialogs, instead of simply prompting for a name. Compiled with new (in progress) version of PAL.
v1.00a (September 1996): Initial release.

What's Next

I'm working on the following features, for inclusion in an upcoming release of Tiles/LX:

Tile graphics editor
Loadable tile graphic sets
Additional board layouts
"Peek" mode
Timer and scoring system

Your registration will encourage me to continue developing Tiles/LX as well as other palmtop software.
