I have no idea how much work will have to go into it to actually play a game of mahjong.

We will be half way there if someone can recreate auto shuffle and stacking function of an auto mahjong table. That or cheat it with programming magic after the tiles disappear into the table. Player should only need to pick/discard/move pieces from there on.

That'd be half-way there, a problem I noticed was that you can't put the tiles on their sides, so it's either face-down so nobody can see them or face-up so everyone can.

Who would play mahjong sideway? :crossarms:

It shouldn't be that hard to implement Z-axis position function on a 3d game anyway.

Other then Jenga, what exactly does a physics engine add?

I assume if this ever hook up with some VR machine/glove, people can act out their avatar and play any tabletop in the comfort of their own room. VR glove mahjong would be glorious. :downswords:

Your DM can really do 3d magic on the table, change the background instantly, send a poison arrow to your face, etc.
