I Need Klondike!!
Blog
24th February 2019
Had another "This game isn't possible" email, this morning, about the blocking of the Draw Pile in Spider Solitaire.
On the one hand, I guess I need to add a little more ingame, onscreen instructional stuff.
On the other hand.. People just want Klondike, don't they!!!
So that'll be today's task. Spend a few hours trying to replicate the "classic" solitaire, and see how easy it is to get it working, without needing to rewrite too much of the overall engine.

Strings is Working

21st February 2019
Strings is more or less functional, although it's missing different playmodes, and the scores aren't kept, but otherwise it's working!

Spent the past couple of hours rewriting the audio code, so it loads the sounds after first-mouse/touch, instead of all happening right off the bat.

ShoeBox of Games

You can Play Shoebox of Games here
Over the course of a couple of weeks, in February 2019, I began the creation of a small collection of JavaScript games.
My aim is to, over the next few weeks/months, to slowly expand the number of games included in the pack, to create a lovely little collection of card games, word games, board games and more, all of which are playable within your browser.

A gentle Solitaire game.
Move cards around the table, placing cards atop each other in descending order. Your goal is to collect runs of King through to Ace, which will be banished to the Complete pile. Views 90, Upvotes 26

Game vs Frame

18th February 2019
I think that, for the most part, the Spider Solitaire is now roughly ready to go, but the Framework is barely finished at all!

Blog
11th February 2019
Taking a significant chunk of the Foldapuz/Unfolded, and JNKsg code as the basis, I've managed to get a fairly decent drawing engine up and running.
Text, Ovals, Rects, Lines, Plot, and the all important DrawImg are all in, and functioning as expected, albeit without any recolouring for DrawImg. (Since I'm using basic Javascript and HTML5, I'm forfeitting the ability to recolour my sprites)

A very Platdude styled set of cards are ready to be used, but there's no game for them to go into, yet.
Today will be about starting a new framework to cope with them.
