Coming back from Hawaii I was playing a solitaire on the in flight entertainment system and it was terribly buggy and hard to use and I was thinking I could do better than this! So I started writing one on the plane. I have not made any games in many years (decades actually) but it was a fun experience and I used it as an opportunity to try out webasm/emscripten which was pretty easy to get working actually. It is here: https://github.com/seiferteric/JustSolitaire https://github.com/seiferteric/JustSolitaire and playable in the browser here: https://eric.seifert.casa/solitaire/ https://eric.seifert.casa/solitaire/
- reidjs 4y agoI don't know if I was playing solitaire incorrectly, but I think there may be a bug when moving cards along the "tableau" piles - I can't move cards of the same suit. for example 5 hearts onto 6 hearts on a tableau pile. Is this against the rules?
- seiferteric 4y agothe piles on top or bottom? On top you move cards of the same suite in ascending order, starting with Ace, 2, 3 etc. On bottom only color matters and you go in descending order. I kept dealing until I had a 5 and 6 of hearts in the bottom piles and I am not able to move one on top of the other so I don't see a problem, but there may be bugs!
- JKCalhoun 4y agoYou're supposed to alternate colors on the tableau in the traditional Klondike solitaire.
- reidjs 4y agoGot it, didn’t know that!
- dorianmariefr 4y agoNice, I lost but nice :), also maybe a loading screen would help
- JKCalhoun 4y agoFor my first foray into Javascript I wrote kardland.com I was adamant not to add a timer though because I felt that made me enjoy the game less. You got double-click working to put away cards. If the card double-clicked can not be put up though, see if there is a tableau it can be put on. I prefer that to dragging if I can avoid it.
- seiferteric 4y agoI went back and forth on the timer, I purposely didn't put any score like MS solitaire at least. As for double clicking to move down to the tableau, I chose not to add it since I felt it sort of encourages spam clicking every card to see if it can be moved.
- SamBam 4y agoIt's truly mind-boggling how terrible most in-flight games are. Both the implementation and the lagging/bugginess of them.
- seiferteric 4y agoThe touch screen was so bad you could not even click along the sides and made some games unplayable... do they even test these things?
