>&kajongg; is een bordspel gemaakt volgens het beroemde oosterse spel Mah Jong (in Chinees <foreignphrase lang="zh"
129
>). Het wordt gespeeld door vier spelers. Wereldwijd zijn er verschillende spelregels in gebruik. Op dit moment ondersteunt &kajongg; de klassieke Chinese spelregels zoals deze gespeeld worden in Duitsland, mogelijk kunnen andere spelregels volgen. Het is mogelijk om deze aan te passen of nieuwe spelregels toe te voegen. Doe dat en stuur deze naar de auteur van het programma voor integratie! </para>

>&kajongg; kan op twee verschillende manieren worden gebruikt: de score bijhouden van een handmatig spel waar u speelt zoals u gewend bent zonder de hulp van een computer en gebruikt u &kajongg; voor het berekenen van de scores en voor bijhouden van de boeken. Of u kunt &kajongg; gebruiken om tegen elke combinatie van andere menselijke spelers of computerspelers te spelen. </para>

You play as usual with real people on a real table and at the end of a game you can tell &kajongg; the tiles a player has in her hand and everything else &kajongg; needs to know for calculating the scores - which is what the program will do. Alternatively you can calculate the hand scores manually and enter them. &kajongg; will then make the payments amongst the players and write the results into a data base. It is possible to suspend a game, start another game with other players and resume old games. All rules will be saved together with the games, so different games can be played with different rules. </para>

In the example of the above screen shot, the losing players might have an option "dangerous game" - again depending on the ruleset and on their tiles. It is the aim of the developers to keep this list of manually selectable rules as short as possible. Optimally &kajongg; should always be able to automatically determine whether a rule applies, but sometimes &kajongg; does not have enough information or knowledge to decide. </para>

>Het doel van het spel</title>
452
>Each player tries to collect tiles such that she has a winning hand. On achieving this, she calls "Mah Jong". In a winning hand, the tiles are normally grouped into five melds: Four melds with three or four tiles each and a fifth meld consisting of two equal tiles. A normal meld has three or four identical tiles (called Pung and Kong respectively) or three successive tiles like Bamboo 3, Bamboo 4, Bamboo 5 (called Chow).</para>
456
>Het verloop van het spel</title>
458
>Initially, the player with the East wind (as indicated on the wall) has one more tile than the other players. East begins by discarding an unwanted tile. </para>
460
>Whenever a tile has been discarded, other players can claim it by saying what they can complete with that tile (Chow, Pung, Kong, Mah Jong). Only the next player can claim a Chow - the other claims are possible for all players. A meld completed by a claim will be exposed - made visible to all players. </para
462
>If nobody claims the discarded tile, the next player, South (and then West and North) gets a tile from the wall and discards an unwanted tile.</para>
464
>There are several rules about when a Pung can be extended to a Kong (by claiming the forth tile or by getting it from the wall) - these rules are not explained here. But &kajongg; of course knows them and makes sure they are respected. If a Kong is declared, the player automatically gets a replacement tile from the wall - otherwise it would not be possible to build the five melds as mentioned above. </para>
468
>Jaar, ronde en hand</title
470
>When a player claims Mah Jong or we end up in a draw, a hand is completed. Now, except for draws, the winds rotate among the players. This is repeated until every player once had every wind. This entire unit is called a round. An entire game, also called year, consists of four such rounds: East wind round, South wind round, West wind round, North wind round. The wind of a round is also called prevailing wind, it can result in higher scores.</para>
472
>So a full game (a year) consists of at least 16 hands. Since the winds do not rotate for draws or when the East player says Mah Jong, a higher number of hands is normally needed for a full game. </para
478
>A game can contain eight bonus tiles (unless the rules exclude them). They are exposed separately on the right side of the player region as they are never used for building melds. They do however generate bonus points.</para>
480
>Als een speler een bonussteen ontvangt, zal deze automatisch ook een vervangende steen van de muur ontvangen.</para
486
>Aan het eind van een hand wordt de score voor elke speler berekend. Eerst worden de basispunten geteld zoals 2 punten voor een eenvoudige open pung of 20 punten voor het winnen. Vervolgens wordt een andere set regels toegepast - deze regels kunnen de punten verdubbelen zoals een verdubbeling voor een melding van draken. Wanneer de score voor elke hand bekend is, worden de verschillen tussen de spelers afgerekend - terwijl de winnaar zijn volledige score van alle andere spelers krijgt betaald. Oost krijgt en betaalt altijd twee keer zijn score.</para>

>&kajongg; comes with voices for different players. It automatically assigns voices to players. For every language there should be four voices, preferably two male and two female. &kajongg; tries to use voices in the same language &kajongg; runs in. If it finds no voices in that language, &kajongg; will fallback to other languages, using the same fallback languages you defined for &kajongg; (see <menuchoice
1017
>Switch Application Language</guimenuitem
1019
>). If no voice files exist yet for your language, you are invited to record and contribute them to &kajongg;. </para>
1023
>This is how you can generate voices yourself. There is a separate folder for every voice. There are two groups of voices with different places in the file system: <itemizedlist
1026
>Predefined voices for every language. They live in a folder like <filename class="directory"
1027
>/usr/share/kde4/apps/kajongg/voices/LANG</filename
1028
> where LANG is the code for your language. The voice directories directly under <filename class="directory"
1029
>.../kajongg/voices/</filename
1030
> are the US-english versions. Predefined voices are randomly assigned to players. Those voices have names like <literal
1031
>"male1 male2 female1 female2"</literal
1032
> but those names do not matter, the user will never see them. Also, it makes no sense to define more than four predefined voices per language. </para
1036
>User voices can be defined for a specific user. If &kajongg; makes use of such a voice, it can automatically be transferred to other players over the internet. Those voices live in a folder like <filename class="directory"
1037
>~/.kde/share/apps/kajongg/voices/</filename
1038
>. So if your login name is joe, this might be <filename class="directory"
1039

1040

1053

1055
> audio compressor, the file names need to have the extension <filename class="extension"
1057
>. A single file has a name like <filename
1059
> - this is Stone 3. You should define such files for all tiles and for all claims and announcements. But if a sound file is missing, nothing bad happens - you just will not hear that sound. Fallback to other voices or languages only works for entire voices, not for single sound files. </para
1063
>After having defined all sound files for a predefined voice, please make sure that the &kajongg; process has write permission in the new voice folder. Start &kajongg; and test the voice. After everything is OK, you can revoke write permission (and you should do so for predefined voices). &kajongg; will automatically generate a file named <filename
1065
> containing a checksum over all sound files. Whenever you change, add or delete a sound file for a voice, &kajongg; will try to rewrite that file. </para
1069
>Please make the length of the sound short but speak clearly - this game can be played very fast when you get used to it. It is easier if you first write down a list with everything that should be spoken. Do not read it as a sequence of items, try to pronounce each item as if it were the only one and as you would when playing. Leave room between the items. Reading this needs a little practicing.</para>
1071

1076

1084

1086

1096
