What's next

Not promises, and not dates. Most of this is waiting on what real games show rather than on time.

A third ruleset

Hong Kong Old Style is in, beside Chinese Official. Riichi, Taiwanese and American are the ones still asked for — each a different scoring system rather than a different table, so each is real work. The vote decides the order.

Waiting on: Votes, and someone who plays it to check the answers

Better tile recognition

Reading is good in decent light and less good across a busy table. Improving it means knowing which photos it gets wrong.

Waiting on: Real games, and the photos that come out of them

Working without a signal

Club rooms and back tables are not famous for reception. Scoring by hand needs no network and never did; reading a photo does. A page you have already opened will come back without one — everything else is still to do.

Waiting on: Evidence that it bites in practice

The Hong Kong patterns still missing

A full set of four flowers or seasons, a flower hand, and the two hands won on the very first draw or discard. All of them need the app to know something about the deal that it never asks.

Waiting on: A table that plays them, and a rule sheet to check against

Flower and season artwork

Every suit tile is drawn from a proper set. Flowers and seasons still wear simplified marks, which shows.

Waiting on: Licensed artwork to match the rest

The fastest way to change this list

Tell us a hand it got wrong. A report carries the tiles and the score automatically, so there is nothing to retype — and a wrong score is the one thing that always jumps the queue.

Nothing here is fixed. If what you want is missing, say so — it is how things get onto this list.
