QMahjongg
			---------


This is QMahjongg, a kind of solitaire game for X11. It is written with the 
Qt toolkit from Troll Tech ( see http://www.troll.no ) and has only be tested
on Linux. It requires Qt version 1.2.

To build and install just follow these steps:
	- edit the Makefile to fit your system ( esp. this QTDIR thing )
	- type "make"
	- to save disk space you can do a "make clean"
	- copy the exectuable to a place like /usr/local/bin or /usr/X11/bin

How to play:
The object of the game is to remove all the tiles from the board in matching
pairs. Tiles match only if they are identical. Exceptions are the flower and
season tiles. Any season tile will match any other season tile and any flower
tile will match any other flower tile. Tiles may be removed from the board
only if they have either a left or a right edge open and they do not have a
tile covering them. 
To remove a pair of tiles, click the left mouse button on a tile and then on
the matching tile. To deselect a tile simply click the tile a second time with
the left mouse button.
When you think you don't have any matches left, game->done stops the tile
counter ( now displayed inverse ) and shows the matches you missed
( "Matches remaining" ). The counter is also stopped with cheat->undo and
cheat->hint. You can disable this behaviour by selecting the appropriate menu
entries in options. You can continue to play with a stopped counter if there
are are matches left.

WARNING: HIGHLY ADDICTIVE !!


The orginal copyright on the look of the tiles has Mark Holm.
Many ideas, esp. the layouts "Bridge" and "Wedge" are taken from 
Jeff S. Young's xmahjongg. His copyright is at the end of this file.

Known bugs: the cheat->hint does not show the correct number of hints compared
to "Matches remaining" when there are 4 selectable tiles of the same type. This
is due to limitations of the "hint finder" which does not show all possible
combinations for 4 selectable tiles. But hey, why do you think it's called
hint ? :-)
