yup that is what inter-network is for :->

mahjong is just like a chess.. it is a game of chance plus game of
strategy... i like the game also because it will sharpen your analytical and
mathematical side (but of course chess is more complex :->) you can easily
predict and read your opponent's cards the way he/she throw and construct
his/her cards...

hehehehe aside from that doc, you cant create a noise to distract your
opponent's concentration :-> that is one of my strategy to win, it is a sort
of psychological warfare... hehehhehehe for example, i will fool them that i
have two or three jokers... it is up to them to believe or not because
sometimes when i say i have two jokers, i do really have it :->

sure... it is very simple to make that one... all you need is an NxM matrix
of even surface of flat pointed wires... when there is a hole at location
x,y to simulate a carving of let say a bamboo stick, a flat pointed wire
will just simply move downward to make a carve... the higher the resolution
of your matrix is, the more smoothness of your carve surface...
doc, did you try games.yahoo.com? there is a majhong board game over there,
all you need is a browser that supports java :->
fooler.
