   I’ve spent five years and 100KLoC building https://github.com/kyleu/projectforge which helps generate and update other Golang projects I maintain. I use it daily.

   Hey HN, I've been hacking on Database Flow for the past year, it feels great to finally release it. You can find the source at https://github.com/KyleU/databaseflow

   Jan has been incredibly helpful, improving my open source Scala solitaire game ( https://solitaire.gg ) with Github bug reports and feedback, and even suggested using it as a new frontend for PySolFC (which I'd love to do).

   I haven't made a single cent off it, but my solitaire game ( https://solitaire.gg ) uses Phaser, I found it to be a great engine, if a bit heavy for a card game.

    I'm the same way with my solitaire game! https://solitaire.gg We should build a collection of web remakes of the built-in OS games.

    There's something very zen about Solitaire games. I've been building them for over a decade, spanning the gamut from http://kylecards.com (no updates in over a decade!) to my latest game, https://solitaire.g

    I built Boilerplay for that exact purpose - https://github.com/KyleU/boilerplay It uses the excellent sbt-scalajs to provide code shared between server and client, and a websocket controller that can receive those shar

    I love it when people put a modern twist on a ubiquitous game like this. I'm reminded of http://bombermine.com (no longer up?), a massively multiplayer Bomberman clone. Personally, I've tried to modernize Solitare with

    Heh, I almost never test in IE, so I expect the reverse. Let me know what errors you're seeing via the game's feedback form.

    Great feedback, sorry for your laggy connection. I'm working on a fix now, but glad offline mode is working for you!

    Having it client/server eliminates the possibility of cheating, lets me get exact timings for analytics and data mining and whatnot, and lets me implement cool things like "Observe Game" (coming soon!). After the feedback fro

    Yep, this. Went perfectly, and thanks to Akka Persistence, end users (hopefully) just saw a minute of lag before their game resumed.

    Good idea, and a simple change. Thanks!

    I use http://phaser.io for scene management (animated resizing of the game, tweening cards to predefined points on the table, etc) and the particle effects, as well as dynamically building the card images. I've been really

    Holy crap, I've been waiting for someone to ask me that (I need more coding friends). The entire game is client/server. The client is pure JavaScript, and communicates with the server using only a few messages (select card, move c

    Yeah, I've started work on 600 or so games, but haven't tested them all. Russian Solitaire is a glaring omission, and will be corrected right away.

    by kyle_u 11y ago

    Thanks! Phaser.io has a great tweening/animation system I use for some things, but the momentum animation was just a few lines of custom code. You basically just set the angle to a smoothed (distance travelled in last 500ms).

    Great advice, thanks for the feedback. I'll get on that tonight (right after the right-click bug that everyone hates).

    All good now - thanks, AWS! And thanks to everyone for the feedback. Wasn't expecting to launch my game today, but I'm glad I did.

    In practice, for my game, I use a single positive signed int as the initial seed for the Scala/Scala.js PRNG (Amazingly, they implement the same algorithm), meaning only two billion or so possible games. If I re-seeded the PRNG each ti

    Acknowledged. I'll fix it up tonight, thanks! Cross-browser mouse events have been the biggest hassle.

    I'll probably open source it in the future, there's a lot of code there, and not much money to be made in Solitaire. I did extract some of the best general parts of the app (the admin, authentication, etc) into a project template
