                 &kajongg; is a board game created after the famous oriental game of Mah Jong (from Chinese <foreignphrase lang="zh">麻將</foreignphrase>). It is played by four players. Worldwide many different rulesets are in use. Right now &kajongg; supports the Classical Chinese rules as played in Germany, eventually other main rulesets will follow. It is possible to customize or add new rulesets. Please do so and send them to the program author for integration!
         </para>
         <para>
                 &kajongg; can be used in two different ways: Scoring a manual game where you play as always without the help of a computer 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.

                                 The names of the players are written on the walls, together with the current value of the hand (as far as known) and their wind tiles. The prevailing wind has a coloured background, east in the screenshot above.

 <chapter id="scoreGame"><title>Scoring a Manual Game</title> <!-- do not change this! -->
         <para>
                 In this mode, &kajongg; is only used to do the scoring. 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>
         <itemizedlist>
             <listitem><para>
                     From the menu, select <menuchoice><guimenu>Game</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Score Manual Game</guimenuitem></menuchoice> or press <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>C</keycap></keycombo>.
             </para></listitem>
             <listitem><para>
                     Now you can either select an existing unfinished game or start a new game. If you start a new game, you will be asked for the players and the ruleset. &kajongg; will propose the same values used for the previous game. If there was no previous game, it will propose the first four defined players. Please note that you cannot change the ruleset or any of its rules after this selection. You can do that beforehand in <link linkend="ruleset-options">the ruleset editor</link>.

                 This is the window for entering hand results. It automatically shows itself when &kajongg; thinks you might need it. You can always show or hide it by pressing  <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>S</keycap></keycombo> or by selecting the corresponding menu entry.
         </para>
         <para>

         </para>
         <para>
                 Here you can manually enter scores for all players. Alternatively you can exactly define which tiles a player had in her hand. If you choose to do that, the corresponding field for the manual score value will be grayed out. &kajongg; will automatically compute the score.
         </para>
         <para>
                 After having entered all relevant data for a hand, press the button <guibutton>Save Hand</guibutton>. The hand values will be entered in the data base, and they are also shown in the score table. You might be prompted to change the seating positions of the players but you can choose not to change seats. The proposed changes are currently not customizable - if a ruleset needs something different, we will change that.
         </para>
         <para>
                 If the player might have won, the check box in the column <guilabel>Winner</guilabel> will be enabled - click this for the winner.
         </para>
         <para>
                 The status bar will now show the updated balances for the players, and you can continue with the next hand.

         <title>Enter the score manually</title>
         <para>
                 A good player will probably prefer to compute her score himself. In that case you can directly enter it. This is only possible when no tiles are selected for this player.
         </para>
         <para>
                 If you enter a manual score, it must already contain everything except penalties, you will have no optional rules to choose from. There is one exception: <quote>Dangerous Game</quote>. This does not influence any scores, it is no offense either. It only means the payment between players is different: The offender pays all for all to the winner. The other two players do not exchange payments. This is currently not customizable.
         </para>
         </sect3>
         <sect3 id="enterhand-tiles">
         <title>Have &kajongg; compute the score</title>
         <para>
                 If you explicitly tell &kajongg; what tiles a player holds, entering scores will be grayed out for that player in this window. While associating tiles with a player you will see how her score will grow - but as soon as you add the 14th tile the score goes to zero. That might surprise you but unless you declare this as the winner hand, it is recognized as a long hand which always has zero points. This behaviour is defined by the Classical Chinese ruleset, it might be different if you change the rules or use a different ruleset.
         </para>
         <para>
                 You can associate tiles and melds with a player using either the mouse or the keyboard or both. With the mouse simply move tiles by dragging/dropping them to the player region. When dropping the tile, you will be asked what you want to move: Single, Pair, Pung, Kong, Claimed Kong or Chow. The upper row is for exposed tiles, the lower row for concealed tiles. The bonus tiles will appear to the far right. You can also move tiles and melds between rows, between players and back to the central selector.
         </para>
         <para>
                 If you prefer using the keyboard, you can use &Tab; to move between the central selector and the player regions. The keys <keycap>eswnESWN</keycap> move a tile to the players East, South, West and North.
                 The keys <keycap>xX</keycap> move it back to the central selector. <keycap>ESWN</keycap> moves to the concealed row, <keycap>eswn</keycap> moves to the exposed row.
                 You can move the cursor between tiles or melds using the arrow keys, the currently selected tile or meld has a blue frame. Since the key arrows are far away from letters on the keyboard,
                 you can also use the letters <keycap>hjkl</keycap> or <keycap>HJKL</keycap> for moving the cursor. <keycap>hH</keycap> move left, <keycap>jJ</keycap> move down, <keycap>kK</keycap> move up,
                 <keycap>lL</keycap> move right. This is how the unix editor <command>vi</command> does it. The &kde; browser &konqueror; and even this help program also support those keys in the same way. Those keys may differ if you use a language other than English but it is currently not possible to configure them.
         </para>
         <para>
                 The options <guilabel>Last Tile:</guilabel> and <guilabel>Last Meld:</guilabel> are needed by some rules like <guilabel>Last tile completes pair</guilabel>. They can only be used for the winner hand.
         </para>
         <para>
                 In the right part of the window you can manually apply some rules. What rules appear in this list depends on the current ruleset and on the tiles. In the example of the above screen shot, the losing players might have an option <quote>dangerous game</quote> - 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.

             you only need to enter your name (or accept the proposed name) and the wanted ruleset. This will immediately start a local game where you play

            If you want to play against other real people, you need a game server to which all players, including yourself, need to connect. Do that by
             selecting any other host or by manually entering a new host name and by specifying your password for that host. The last used password will be
             proposed.
         </para><para>
             The easiest way is to use the game server at <literal>kajongg.org</literal>. &kajongg; will show this one in the list of possible game servers.

           If you do not have an account on the game server with the name you entered, you will be asked if you want to open an account. If you say yes, you will get a

         </para><para>
             After a successful login onto the game server, you will get a list of tables with available seats on that game server. Join a table or allocate a new table.
             If you allocate a new table, wait until more seats are taken by other players. You can start the game on a table you allocated at any time, the seats
             not taken will be filled by robot players.
         </para><para>
           The table list also shows the name of the ruleset played on that table. The ruleset and its name are sent to the game server by the player initiating the table.
           If you have an identical ruleset, the table shows your name for the ruleset - this might be helpful if the table initiator speaks another language and named
           the ruleset differently. Also, if the name of your local ruleset is displayed, it is displayed in black. If however you have no identical ruleset, the name

            If you do not use <literal>kajongg.org</literal> or any other existing game server, you can start your own &kajongg;  game server in two different ways:
             <itemizedlist><listitem><para>
                  connect to the server <literal>localhost</literal>. This is your own computer. If you do this and no game server is running, it will be started automatically. And when
                  you stop playing, the server will be stopped too. This differs from selecting <guilabel>Local Game</guilabel>, the latter does not allow connections from other computers.
             </para></listitem><listitem><para>
                 manually start a server on any computer you want. All you need to do is go to a command line and start
             the program <command>kajonggserver</command>. Entering <command>kajonggserver --help</command>
             will show you all available options like changing the default port. This server will run until you kill it.
             </para></listitem></itemizedlist>
         </para><para>
             In both cases you need to tell the other players  how they can reach your game server. They need the &URL; or simply an IP address and the port your server is
             listening on. This might be something like <literal>mypc.dyndns.org:8301</literal> where <literal>8301</literal> is the port. Of course you need to configure your firewall such that the remote
             player can reach that port. The communication will be encrypted.
             </para><para>
             For the port number, please see <menuchoice><guimenu>Help</guimenu> <guimenuitem>About &kajongg;</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. The Protocol version is the port number. For &kajongg; 17.04 this is 8301.
             If the player enters no port for the wanted game server, the client computes the port in the same way.
             So if a computer runs several game servers with different protocol versions, you should normally reach the correct game server automatically.
             Anyway the game server and the client will make sure that their versions are compatible and warn you otherwise.
          </para><para>
             If you encounter possible bugs, you might want to use the option <command>kajongg --debug=traffic</command>. This will show you, on the console where the game server has been started,
             what messages are flowing between the game server and the clients. For more options, see <command>kajongg --help</command>

 <sect1  id="gamerules"><title>Game rules</title>
 <para>Worldwide, many different game variants exist. Currently, &kajongg; supports two variants of Classical Chinese, one as played in Germany and one as played in Great Britain.</para><para>
   This description does not go into details and as such matches both variants.</para><para>
   However most of the basic rules are the same in most variants.</para>
   <para>Since the program &kajongg; knows how to play, this description only contains things that might not be obvious.</para>
   <para>If you want to learn Mah Jong in more detail, please consult the <link linkend="bibliography">bibliography</link>.</para>
 <sect2 id="gamerules-aim">
   <title>The aim of the game</title>
   <para>Each player tries to collect tiles such that she has a winning hand. On achieving this, she calls <quote>Mah Jong</quote>. 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>
   </sect2>
   <sect2>
     <title>The course of the game</title>
     <para>
       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>
     <para>
       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><para>
       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>
       <para>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>
     </sect2>
     <sect2>
       <title>Year, Round and Hand</title><para>
       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>
         <para>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></sect2><sect2><title>Bonus tiles</title>
     <para>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>
       <para>If a player gets a bonus tile, she will automatically also get a replacement tile from the wall. And a bell rings.</para></sect2>
       <sect2><title>Scoring</title><para>
         At the end of a hand, the score for each player is computed. First, basis points are counted like 2 points for a simple exposed pung or 20 points
         for winning. Next, another set of rules is applied - those rules can double the points like one double for a meld of dragons. When the score for
         each hand is known, differences are paid between players - while the winner gets its full score paid from all other players. East always gets and
           pays twice her score.</para>
           <para>Of course &kajongg; knows about all applicable rules but a good player knows what combinations get what score so she can optimize.
             While learning it is recommended to activate the window <guimenuitem>Explain Scores</guimenuitem>.</para>
           <para>The exact scoring rules often vary - in &kajongg; you are free to change them with the <link linkend="ruleset-options">the ruleset editor</link>.</para>
           <para>The ruleset editor also shows you all available rules and their meaning. Place the mouse over them and for the
             more exotic rules help text will appear.</para>
         </sect2>

 <sect1 id="playing-play">
         <title>How to play with &kajongg;</title>
         <para>
             You will be prompted for what you want to do. This is a little dialog which appears either on the right or at the bottom depending on the size of the window. If
             you make it broader than  high, the dialog appears on the right. Sometimes the dialog will have a timeout - when it is over, the first possible answer is automatically selected for you.
             This timeout is configurable in the Ruleset Editor, under <guilabel>Options</guilabel>, <guilabel>Claim Timeout</guilabel>.
             All players should have the same timeout, that is why this is part of the ruleset.
           </para><para>
             If you need to select a tile from your hand, you can move between tiles using the &Right; and &Left; arrow keys or the letters <keycap>h</keycap> and <keycap>l</keycap> on your keyboard. Of course you can use the mouse too.
           </para><para>
             You can discard a tile by using the keyboard the same way as for all actions. Alternatively, you can use the mouse and move the tile from your hand into the
             discard area (the interior of the walls). The placement of the tile in the discard area will still be done by the computer - because the placement should be the same for
             players.
           </para><para>
           Often, the dialogs will offer choices which are not really applicable like calling Pung when you do not have the needed tiles. This is intended - just like in a real game.
           But you can configure impossible choices away: Disable <guilabel>Show only possible actions</guilabel> on the <guilabel>Play</guilabel> page of the settings dialog.
           </para><para>
             Discarded tiles are placed randomly between the walls. Some game variants define where the tiles should be placed, this is not yet configurable however. When it becomes configurable, it will be part of the ruleset.

                                 that the wall  is two or three tiles high. So if you disable this option, you have a simpler display with slightly larger tiles. This may be helpful

                 Playing gives you a much nicer experience if you hear players claim tiles and announce discards. It also makes playing
                 easier because you can concentrate on your own tiles, you do not have to watch what others discard.

         <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><guimenu>Help</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Switch Application Language</guimenuitem></menuchoice>). If no
                 voice files exist yet for your language, you are invited to record and contribute them to &kajongg;.

                 This is how you can generate voices yourself. There is a separate folder for every voice. Please note that those folders may
                 be somewhere else on your system, they depend on how &kde; was installed. Only the part starting with <filename class="directory">kajongg</filename>
                 is always the same. There are two groups of voices
                 with different places in the file system:
                 <itemizedlist><listitem><para>
                         Predefined voices for every language. They live in a folder like <filename class="directory">/usr/share/kajongg/voices/LANG</filename> where
                         LANG is the code for your language. The voice directories directly under <filename class="directory">.../kajongg/voices/</filename> are the US-english
                         versions. Predefined voices are randomly assigned to players. Those voices have names like <quote><literal>male1 male2 female1 female2</literal></quote> but those names do not matter, the user will never see them.
                 </para></listitem><listitem><para>
                         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">~/.local/share/apps/kajongg/voices/</filename>.
                         So if your login name is joe, this might be <filename class="directory">/home/joe/.local/share/apps/kajongg/voices/joe/</filename>.
                         The folder <filename class="directory">voices/</filename> might not yet exist - if so, create it.

                 Now that you know where to place your new voice, generate a new folder for it.
                 </para></listitem><listitem><para>
                         In that subfolder, you can place the sound files. They have to be encoded with the <ulink url="https://xiph.org/vorbis/">Ogg Vorbis</ulink> audio compressor, the file names need to
                         have the extension <filename class="extension">.ogg</filename>.
                         A single file has a name like <filename>s3.ogg</filename> - 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></listitem><listitem><para>
                 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>md5sum</filename> 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>
                 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>
         <para>

                 Record a sound file with the program <command>qarecord</command>, save it in the <acronym>WAV</acronym> format.

         </para></listitem><listitem><para>
                 Edit that file with the sound editor <command>audacity</command>. In that editor, use the mouse to mark a range of the sound waves.
                 The editor will play that part. Repeat until you have the correct part selected.
                 This may be easier if you <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Zoom In</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.
                 Use the menu command <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Export Selection</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and save in the <filename class="extension">.ogg</filename> format.
                 Under <guilabel>Options</guilabel>, choose low quality - this is sufficient and even
                 wanted because this reduces the time to transfer the sounds to the other players.

                                 Use the Ruleset Editor to customize rulesets. Predefined rulesets are shown in an italic font, customized rulesets have a normal font. Predefined rulesets cannot be changed by the user in any way, however an update of &kajongg; might. Customized rulesets will never be affected by an update.

                                 When starting a new game, you will be able to select a ruleset for that game. All rulesets defined in the ruleset editor can be used. The ruleset is saved together with the game, so you can always change rulesets here - your changes will only affect future games.

                                 If all values are cleared, this rule  will have no influence on the game.

                                  Again this can even be done if existing games use this ruleset since every game has its own ruleset copy.
