Add a "variant" tile set for western audience #14

Open WPFilmmaker opened 6 years ago

WPFilmmaker commented 6 years ago

Forword: I hope I am not annoying devs by openng my third ticket in a couple of hours, I just started playing OpenRiichi and wanted to give my feedbacks as user.

Second foreword: wth my suggestion I don't want to go against tradition or offend the purists of the traditional game.

I opened this ticket to propose to add the option for the user to chose an alternate tile set which displays Arabic numbers on the corner of the tiles, what I am talking about is: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Ordinary_mahjong.jpg/330px-Ordinary_mahjong.jpg.

It would really help players who don't understand Chinese characters. I have no issue looking at bamboos but like the majority of people who don't speak Chinese, I really struggle with the tiles with Hanzi.

True I could learn the symbols and perhaps someday I will, but I know that in North America is common practice playing with the variant of tiles I am talking about, hence my humble request.

The option could be chosen by the user and have traditional tiles by default.

Best Regards,

This is definitely something that I plan to do. I had planned to make this an option when I add a tutorial mode. Also, if I saw correctly someone already made something like this in one of the forks, but I haven't tested that yet. But I will get to this once I've finished releasing the next version.
