Moonlight Mahjong

- Fixed a problem that might slow down the game while sounds are playing. - Minor fixes to support for iOS 13 and later.

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. - Updated for iPhone X. - Minor fixes and enhancements. - Requires iOS 10.3 or later.

• Fixed an issue where Tilebot paused too long after reshuffling on very high levels. (Honestly, I missed this one because some of you appear to be much better at playing Moonlight Mahjong than I am. Sorry.) • This should (I hope) be the last bug fix update for a while. Thank you for the positive reviews; they are much appreciated. Since the reviews essentially disappear with each app update, it’s always helpful if you can update yours. In Version 3.2: • When you lose a game in Scramble mode, you now go back only one level instead of three. (Please note: Re-playing the same level is not something that is going to happen. There needs to be some level of challenge to the game; otherwise it stops being a game. However, there is always Relaxation Mode.) • Achievements and Leaderboards are now shared between the Lite and full versions; so you can keep your high scores if you upgrade, or compare your scores to friends on either version. • Matches are now highlighted when you lose. • Support for full resolution on iPad Pro. • There is now a time penalty for taking screenshots; this is because the introduction of iPad multitasking made it a little too easy to cheat. On the other hand, there is no longer a time penalty for leaving the app. • Minor bug fixes and enhancements.

• Fixed a bug where achievement banners could appear repeatedly. In Version 3.2: • When you lose a game in Scramble mode, you now go back only one level instead of three.

By popular demand (plea, really): If you cancel out of the Game Center login, you will no longer see the Game Center login. To sign into Game Center after cancelling, go to Options -> Player and turn “Game Center Login” back on, and then exit and return to the app; or go to the Settings app under Game Center and sign in. Also by request: If you attain the Dragon Master achievement (1,000,000 points in Scramble), you can now start at level 40. Starting at Level 30 in Scramble is now enabled when you reach the Green Dragon achievement at 500,000 points - down from 600,000 previously. You can now disable the parallax visual effect, if you don’t like it, under Options. Tilebot should now always pause during the Game Center sign in. This update is in direct response to user feedback. As always, your positive reviews are appreciated.

• Fixed a bug where layout statistics did not appear in the Layouts view on iPad. • Removed the "Multiplayer over Bluetooth" options in the Game Mode menu. Please use the "Game Center Multiplayer" options instead; they do the same thing except better, and Game Center now has an option to connect to nearby players. Earlier in Version 3.1: • Updated to support full resolution on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus • Updated for iOS 8. iOS 7 or later is required for this update. • Important fix for a bug where the level may not advance when the app is launched on iOS 8. • Losing in Scramble or Challenge mode now sends you back only three levels instead of five. • 58 new built-in layouts submitted by Moonlight Mahjong users.

• This update reverses a minor change to the rules of which tiles are blocked, made in the previous version. Version 3.0 supports iOS 7 and contains many improvements inspired by iOS 7’s new design. See the Version History for a full list of changes.

Version 3.0 supports iOS 7 and contains many improvements inspired by iOS 7’s clean new design. • New standard tile art replaces ‘Engraved Marble’ as the default: The new standard tile art uses a much cleaner, subtler tile texture, which makes the tile details stand out clearly. This is combined with specular lighting and engraved detail for realism. • Completely reworked physics engine for touch movement: Moonlight Mahjong’s touch controls seemed pretty good for the last five years, but iOS 7 has raised the bar. Moonlight Mahjong’s new custom physics engine is more responsive and precise, and includes momentum and boundary effects. • Motion Effects: On supported devices with iOS 7, turning the screen shows a subtle 3D effect similar to the iOS 7 home screen. This is not used to play the game, it just adds a sense of dimensionality and makes the graphics ‘pop’. Plus it’s cool. • The default control scheme for new users is now “Single Finger Controls”: drag one finger on any tile to turn the board; drag one finger on the background to move the board. This is what used to be called the ‘Advanced’ control scheme; it makes it easier to play with one hand. The earlier standard control scheme is now called “Two Finger Controls” and is still available. The more obscure earlier touch control options have been removed, as they were not particularly useful and might confuse new users. • Cleaner game dialogs closer to the style of iOS 7: The new game dialogs are actually pretty close to the original Moonlight Mahjong dialogs… just better. • Improved documentation: The documentation is now a single page, which is much easier to browse and navigate. • Improved app icon: The app icon has been subtly redone in the proportions of iOS 7, using the new standard tile art. The icon is less obviously 3D than before, but not ‘flat’; 3D is fundamental to what this game is about. • There is a small change to the rules governing what tiles are considered ‘blocked’. Tiles one level above on the left are now considered to be on the left, and tiles one level above on the right are considered on the right. This slightly changes how some boards are played. (Note: This change will be undone in the next update. It was discovered a little too late that it makes a couple layouts less interesting, notably 'I Love Mahjong', so we'll go back to the original rule.) • Improved Alphabet tileset using the Helvetica Neue font, with tile texture and engraved detail. • Using the Night Tiles tileset now darkens the background, for better use at night. • Behind-the-scenes programming cleanup: Moonlight Mahjong is now over 5 years old, having launched with the opening of the App Store. The state of the art in iOS programming has advanced considerably in 5 years; it’s important for a number of reasons to try to keep up. • iOS 5.0 or later is now required.
