Hey everyone, I finished my first video game, and I think it is pretty great. Took way longer than expected to squash all the bugs but I'm happy with the results. This is version 0.9; for 1.0 I plan to add auto-play, undo button, and sound effects.



Download binaries or source code

Please let me know how you like the game and if you run into any issues or not.

I split the game logic into a generic playing card engine and the specific logic for a solitaire game itself, so I'm trying to make it easier to create future card games:

The Ruge Project: Roll Your Own Game Engine

Well done!

I would encourage you to distribute the Windows version as an unzip-only (portable) as well as an installer. I would have tried a portable version but, since this is a work PC, installing isn't an option.

Thanks Charlie!

Good suggestion; I went ahead and uploaded the portable version. Now just to get the Mac version working and to figure out how to get snapcraft working so I can upload to Ubuntu software center.

Tried it, and it worked fine! Nice animations and all.

Finally got done with my official 1.0 release

The game is much more polished now, it has an Undo feature, a Solve feature, and a lot of fun animations and sound effects.

Why Open Solitaire Classic when there already is PySol Fan Club edition?
(The card game is included as “Klondike”.)
