Pico-8 is peaceful
The Cpp/Raylib-version of the solitaire-game is kinda on hold. No motivation to do card-images. The Pico-8-Version is just for fun, plus it’s easier for the card-art.

Shuffling Cards in Pico-8/Lua
Solitaire is an interesting dev-project. The rules are quickly done. The real work comes with layering the render-order of the cards.
The current looks of kuso–solitaire.
Managed to get a high-res web-export with Raylib. It doesn’t work with resizable, since the WASM-lib will set the canvas size and you can’t do the 200% width-trick to get a sharp canvas.
Yak-shaving with the art-style again, but I think I like the vector-look more for this. Some more features added, too, and it’s starting to feel good for playing. Time to introduce a re-deal, maybe undo and/or difficulties.
Trying out more-readable fonts for the card-numbers. Also I think I’ll ditch the jaggy stacking, since the pixel-art doesn’t rotate that well.
Got basic animations working, and every card is now a sprite. WASM-Build works.
Sketching the other Faces
Exploring a style for the card-game. Aseprite, PICO-8 Palette.
First round played on the card-game. No win-state yet, but fully solved with a random deal.
The current game-dev-project is an italian version of solitaire, with brescola-cards. First time making a card-game. C++/Raylib.
The current game-in-progress is actually fun to work on. A clone of “Dungeons & Diagrams”. The same rules, but I want to do it a SciFi-Mining-Look, and instead of 8x8 boards the plan is to do mobile-friendly irregular boards, like 6x8 or 5x7. Tech is ThreeJS and Vue.
