[b][u]Installing Kajongg on Windows[/b][/u]



Download the installer from the link below.



Kajongg needs the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package.

I believe I am not allowed to include a copy in the installer.

Chances are good that you already have this installed. Otherwise

you should see a corresponding error message. You can get that

package from Microsoft here: [url]http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29[/url]



Support for Windows is very new, there might be a few things missing. Still to be done:



- toolbar, statusbar, keyboard shortcuts everywhere



- application language selection. For now, the language of the installed Windows

  is used. If Kajongg is not translated into that language, it is english. If you really

  need to, you can edit a configuration file and select any of the available languages.



[b][u]Installing Kajongg on Linux[/b][/u]



Kajongg is part of the KDE games, your Linux distribution should bring it to you.



[b][u]More[/b][/u]



Kajongg is covered by the GNU GPL2 license - see COPYING.



Kajongg can be used in two different ways: Scoring a manual

game where you play as always and use Kajongg for the computation

of scores and for bookkeeping. Or you can use Kajongg to play

against any combination of other human players or computer players.



Kajongg currently comes with two rulesets for classical chinese, one

for rules in Germany and one for rules in England.

You can change many things in the rulesets at your will.

The rules for a game are saved in the database, so every

game could be played with different rules. Changing a ruleset

does not affect existing games.



You can always get the current source code from here:



git clone https://invent.kde.org/games/kajongg.git

or see online here: [url]https://invent.kde.org/games/kajongg[/url]

If you want to send me bug reports, please either use the kajongg

menu commmand Help / Report Bug or mail me directly to the Mail

Address given in that bug reporting dialog. I will not follow links

to pages I do not trust like upload pages, shortlink services or

similar.
