I saw a similar question on dA, and I am considering adding a sort of gallery mode in game, which you would be able to unlock by winning.

Oh man, I would already have an access to it if that was possible...

I've played, and I have a lot to say. I never thought I would write about what's wrong with solitaire :D Besides what's listed in the game description, it's also a little annoying that sometimes the cards are collected in the top decks. It made me 1 time so that I could not pass the game. Is there any way to disable this?

And I never thought I would ever implement solitaire before I started this project :D Actually, cards should only be automatically collected in the top discard piles if all the cards that could potentially be placed on them are already up there as well. So it seems you have encountered a bug. Do you recall which card was put there prematurely? or at least its suit? And yes, I think I may add an option to disable this convenience feature.


I had it like this: the spade 3 lay on the 4 of diamonds, and the other red 4, went to the top deck, and because of this I could not collect the whole suit of diamonds, as it occupied all the decks

Oh, well, by the way, sometimes double-tapping also appears. But there's nothing wrong with the mouse. But still, as was written in the post to the game, there is no way to get cards from the top colota, it could save some matches. And by the way, how about as a reward to allow the player to see the cards ‘closer’. Or, better yet, a closer look at the artwork from the cards.

A little bit of an update is uploading to TGS right now.

I have not yet investigated these particular issues, but at least as soon as the update is online you will be able to disable that Auto-Discard feature (and other convenience features) in the menu. And you can pull the card back down, too. So at least that part is now done.
I have also seen the double-tapping issue when drawing cards. I'm not sure how to debug that one yet as it shows up very rarely for me and I cannot exactly reproduce it. So that bug is probably going to be there for a while.

You made me imagine fleshing out the "sinking poker" rules :twisted: Your wager is not money or chips, but depth sinking in the bog. Do you dare go "all in"? :mrgreen:

In Sinking Poker you don't Raise, instead you Lower the pot. ;)

You know, I really love the idea of "Strip Poker" but instead of losing clothes, you just sink deeper. Definitely cooking something here :twisted:

In real poker there is a sort of side bet called "The Nit Game." While I do not play poker myself, my understanding is that everyone at the table is initially given a "Nit" chip. When they win a deal there nit chip is taken back by the dealer, and the one with the last remaining nit chip has to pay everyone else an agreed amount. For your purposes here, that amount could be anything. After all, you don;t want the cards getting marked by mud.

TGS Solitaire 1.1 is now available. You can download it for Linux or Windows (or play in the browser as before).

This update mainly brings two new cards based on Viridian's OCs.

oh, mind-blowing speed.

I have to ask. Where are the site's servers physically located?
In America? I'm just in Europe.

And I'm just now noticing. At a resolution of 1360:768(16:9) the buttons sometimes extend beyond the outlined area

The server (singular, it's just one) is located in Europe, Netherlands. It's a bit on the cheap side, but even so I don't think I have ever seen its download speed drop below 4.5MB/s. So I would assume that was either some temporary issue or something else is creating the bottleneck here.

Regarding the display issue with the main menu, what browser/device are you using there?
