I'm thinking about starting an open project, and I've been looking for a site to write about it, to include code. I've noticed a lot of blogs don't deal well with code.
Would articles here be an acceptable way to share the project?

Well, I've been a fan of the Japanese flavor of Magjong for a while. It's a some that neatly combines luck and strategy.
The project I'm thinking of is making an app that will be playing the game.
I'll be using .Net (C#) as my language of choice. The overhead of .Net shouldn't be an issue for performance.
I'll start with the core of the game with a simple command-line interface, staying with that until the game can be played. From there, I'll work on the user interface to make the playing the game enjoyable.
I'm not sure if I'll go with a networked game or not.
There's a lot of things to cover, so there will be plenty of articles.

I wonder has anyone built a proper version of MahJong to be played on mobile/internweb with 4 players taking from the wall and building pung/kong and special hands. Seem mobile should lend itself to that.

There are plenty of Japanese apps. I want to make one that I can play without a translator.

Are they the tile matching version or the pung/kong style?

The 4 -player kung/pong style. Tile matching has been done to death.

Thats going to be a challenge if it is not networked 
If you need some collaboration let me know, I play for fun and the wife is competitive. I will also volunteer for beta testing if required

Thanks. I'll be starting slow, working thru the basics. It's going to be command line for a while.
It should be straightforward to have a hosted server an online games on top of the core of the game. I'm also intending on some game AI for bot players (and maybe having some fun with making them challenging).

Absolutely!
What's the project, if I may ask?

Wait until you see the code and then decide.

CP used to have a Code Project's Projects Page. With enough interest, maybe Chris can bring it back.

ORACLE TEAM USA won the 34th America’s Cup with a 44-second victory over Emirates Team New Zealand in Race 19.
To summarise - the Mercans did shyte, drafted in a Brit, sunk the Kiwis.
Well played Sir Ben Ainslie, well played!

Let the poor buggers have their glory, they paid for it!
Seems to have been the Kiwis against the rest of the world and they came so close! Pity they didn't win, maybe they could change the rules about crew content if they get the chance.
