Game Archive Viewer Updated

Mahjong Time is continually improving its EON platform, and bringing you the best Mahjong experience!

Game Archive Viewer -
The most striking change in this update is the ability to view the entire game as it unfolds. The game is presented via a camera that moves from one hand to another, same as you would watch live coverage from an offline tournament.




The multifunction control button that is used to pause/stop/move forward/move back/reload the game is transparent and located in the center of the left side of the game. Mouse over the multifunction button and it will become visible. While the multifunction control button is visible you can drag and drop the button into a different location.
Below are  the functions of the game archive that are  controlled by the multifunction game archive controller:




1. Speed - Change Play Back speed.
Available options:
1/2 - is the default option which corresponds to the half of the speed the game.
1 - corresponds to the same speed as the original game was played.
2 - is twice of the speed of the game
3 - is to replay the game tree times faster than the game was originally played.

2. Move Forward. This feature is active  only when the game is paused
3. Review the next deal. This feature also works when the game is paused.
4. Reload deal
5. Arcade Mode or Simulator.
Simulator is when the game is played with all hands closed and the camera moves from one hand to another
Arcade is when the game is played with all hands open.
6. Previous Deal
7. Move back
8. Stop/Pause the game

Riichi Washizu Beta Released!

The Magic of the Holidays never ends, Mahjong Time is very excited to introduce Washizu Riichi rules. Washizu riichi rules are played with some of the tiles being transparent. In this version of the Washizu game, we have half of the tiles transparent. There are two tiles in each set that are transparent. Example: two transparent white dragons, and two solid white dragons, two east winds transparent and two east winds solid, etc. Washizu rules are your chance to try to play the game with nearly perfect information!



Transparent Tiles

Just like in the real game, the online Washizu game lets you see your opponents transparent tiles. Although it is easy to see the hand of the player across, it is harder to recognize the tiles of the player who seats on your left or right. Thus, Mahjong Time added the ability for players to 'turn their head' to have a better view of player's hand who seats on the left or right.
 Click 1 to 'turn your head' to see player's hand on your left and click 2 to 'turn your head' to take a look at player's hand on your right.

Click 1 on your keyboard to look at the hand of the player on your left.

Click 2 on your keyboard to look at the hand of the player on your right. 

Moreover, the system displays on the table for short period the transparent tiles that are drawn from the wall by the player on your right or left. Thus, you do not have to 'turn your head' each time a transparent tile is taken from the wall by the players on your right or left.



Lastly,  you can always mouse over to view the tooltip, a small 'hover box' with the information about the tile you mouse over.
