Solitaire these days has Xbox integration, XP, levels, achievements, collectibles, events, ads, payment system, subscriptions for making it ad free, cheats behind a paywall, ... It's a bit silly.

    Wait until you see the solitaire game I'll definitely 100% make after I finish this class on C I'm taking this quarter!

    /s

    Yeah, I would never want to make a game in C when things like Python or Godot exist.

    You'll never fit the game in the boot sector of a floppy disk if you write it in python.

    I suppose not a problem if you don't want any innovation in the engine of the game and just want to re-skin something someone else made.

    I don't see how if I were to make a basic solitaire game why I'd want to innovate in the game engine, personally.

    Maybe for a different game, but why would I put in that much effort in a game you can probably download thousands of different versions/reskins of on your smart fridge?

    meanwhile pysol fan club edition has about 50 types of card games and takes 230 kilobytes of ram

    I like it, but kept running into weird bugs (and I think dependency issues) with different versions of python.

    Kpatience for me.

    Yeah (on the flatpak) although I still had a problem, and don't remember what/why.

    Kpatience is nice.

    Also I have a fundamental problem with pysol wins being just "you did it. Click OK".

    Those bouncing cards in Windows sol.exe were early computer dopamine addiction that sold millions of computers.

    Youngins. They’re talking about the entirety of Windows and calling it all a solitaire game. EG - Windows 98’s minimum requirement was 16 MB, and 95’s was 4 MB.

    There are good open source puzzle and solitaire games that are not resource hogs.

    No solitaire but I strongly recommend Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection.
