About a year and a half ago, I ran into a significant time crunch where I had to juggle about 3 jobs at once. That time of my life has finally passed, but these days, gnome-games is moving in a different direction with new leaders... It's a free-form community project again, but honestly, that's not where my tastes lie. I enjoyed playing my part in bringing a ubiquitous yet hideously ugly package up to par with other popular gnome projects, and that's good enough for me...
All of the work below was done between Winter 2004 and Summer 2005.
The postmodern.svg tileset design contains a handful of features that you won't find on any true Mahjongg sets. I intend to release another set this year that contains standard antique tiles.
Optimized for speed and size.
Below, you will find SVG files I assembled, based on public domain works from centuries past. I did not draw these images.
dondrof.svg - 296 KB (SVG/PNG hybrid)
Based on Dondorf's "Swiss Costumes" deck, over 110 years old. Both the original deck and this SVG are considered public domain.
paris.svg - 576 KB
Based on Grimaud's "Paris Pattern" decks, over 150 years old. These were released several months after David Bellot's bellot.svg cards, and it is a technological parallel, as they only have the card scans in common... even the tracing method was completely different. You'll find that paris.svg does not include French court ranks and identities, and does not contain several creations, such as card backs and jokers, that you will find in the Bellot set.
These cards for a good example of what can happen when you combine the powers of 'sed' with an SVG file. Both the original Grimaud deck and this SVG are considered public domain.
