What's new
Ready Hand is in alpha and changes often. The version on a saved card matches the one below, so a screenshot can always be placed.
What didn't count means one thing now
17 Aug 20260.66.0-alpha
- That section lists only patterns your hand actually has and didn’t get paid for — absorbed by a bigger pattern, or flowers under the 8-point minimum.
- A fan you just missed is now explained on the pattern that did score, instead of appearing as something you lost. Fully Concealed Hand no longer shows up on a hand won from a discard.
- On a result, the feedback box says “report an issue”, which is what you are usually there to do.
Ask for things, not just report them
17 Aug 20260.63.0-alpha
- The feedback form takes what you want as readily as what broke — it is no longer called “report a problem”, because that told anyone with an idea it did not belong there.
- What's next now ends by asking what you would like to see, with the option already chosen.
Where alpha stands
16 Aug 20260.62.0-alpha
- Photograph a hand or tap it in, and Ready Hand scores it for Chinese Official — 81 fan, the 8-point minimum, and the non-repeat principle.
- It shows its work: every pattern that counted, every one that didn't and why, and the reading it actually scored. Tap a pattern to light the tiles that earned it.
- All 81 fan have been checked by hand against the rules, one at a time.
- Learn mode names any tile, deals a worked example, and lets you look up any of the 81 by name, Chinese or point value.
- Save a card of the result to share. It carries the version, so a screenshot can always be placed against this list.
Only changes a player could notice are listed. Plenty of releases fix things nobody would ever have seen.
