Putting Things Off
Blog
23rd June 2019
Really couldn't get into the whole "Redefineable Controls" stuff, yesterday.
Instead, I messed about with Tower Solitaire's rules a little, and also played around with a few other bits and pieces.

Swapping Allowed
Blog
22nd June 2019
As per @RSKGames' suggestion, I've added a couple of Swap mechanics to Tower solitaire.
You can swap any free cards in the tower, but only when they're on the same row.
You can also swap the topmost card amongst the dealt piles, too.
There's not a LOT of things you can swap, but hopefully it should be enough to make things a little bit easier in the 5 and 6 tower modes.
You can Play Tower Solitaire in the Card Games section of the Shoebox.

As the collection grows ever onwards, people send feedback for the various oddities that I create.
You can Play Tower Solitaire in the Shoebox, under the Card Games.
@RSKGames says..For regular Solitaire players this version might need some time to get used to as the card that is required to build the tower is not one less or one more of the cards in stack but follows a simple rule. Yeah, it's a slightly different strategy, but it makes things a lot tougher when you end up with a v...Views 109, Upvotes 21

Redefining

22nd June 2019
Today I need to rewrite a ton of my input code, to work properly with redefined keys/gamepads, and then add a screen to let you do that.
.. More bloomin' menus.
Grrr!!

A new Solitaire card game, today. The aim is to try to reach the top of the tower by matching cards.

Tower Solitaire
Game
21st June 2019
Try to build up the pyramid by placing cards which match both of the cards below, by suit or value.
You can swap free cards on the same level, or replace them entirely with dealt cards of the same suit or value, but only if the card has no card above it. You win if you can reach the very top. Views 197, Upvotes 44

Cards
21st June 2019
I might switch up a tiny rule for the Tower Solitaire game.
Instead of having a Swap Pile, I think I might instead make the "3 dealt cards" spread out into three distinct piles.
I'll have a play with this rule, today, and see which appears to work the best.
Other than that, I guess I need to start thinking about next week's Petit-Switch game, and figuring out what else needs to be done with the Browsercade framework.
I still haven't added any kind of Redefine Joypad thing, yet, so might ai...

Name That Solitaire
Blog
20th June 2019
I woke up with a Solitaire game in my head.. As you do!
Figured I'd code it, and see how it turned out, and .. Yeah, it's quite playable!
Currently near-impossible, but I think having a "Swap Pile" should help that quite a bit.
Basic rules. You can place Same Suit/Value card atop each other in the pyramid. If a card matches the Suit/Value of both of the two adjacent cards, you may place the card in the row above.
(eg, if you have a 2 of hearts in your hand, and the two cards below are a ...

Switching Off
Blog
19th June 2019
My brain seemed to switch off from its regular coding mindset, last night.
I did no coding whatsoever, and instead spent a good few hours watching old episodes of Retail Archeology on YouTube.
A lovely channel full of dead shopping malls!!
