Today, I implemented drag and click-to-move of multiple cards, when allowed. I also implemented undo functionality for this mechanic.

I finished the first draft of these classic playing cards today. I think they could still use some more work, but at least now I can try them out in-game.

Today I wrote the code for this site. (I had previously been posting elsewhere.) We'll see how long this 90's style dev (and 90's style design) holds.

• deal a new game
• prefer moving cards to tableau stacks with cards vs to empty ones
• cards now snap back after being held for longer than a click
• tweens have consistent speed instead of duration
• game selection screen
• mouse cursor shows hand for clickable objects
• bug fixes

It’s nice to see my solitaire collection’s generalized rule system coming along. It only took me maybe an hour to whip up this Napoleon’s Square variant tonight. As part of that, I added optional rules for multiple decks and for allowing cards of the same suit (and only of the same suit) to move to the tableau.
