I'm going to detail in this post my journey on creating a klondike solitaire game. As I progress I'll update the progress in this post as well:

Looking for Playing Card images

As any klondike solitaire game, you a complete deck of playing card images. As I started to look for one, I found something that I liked, they were released under LGPL license. As I progressed with my research, I found out that I had some restrictions in my game and I preferred not to, so I decided not to use the open source playing cards released under LGPL licence and to go with some public domain playing cards instead.

Implementing the top menu bar

Then I wanted to have some top menu bar, to be able to restart the game, or start a new one, and where to add new functionality, like changing the cards, saving scores and so on. Ath this stage my main requirement was to have the menu usable on desktop and mobiles.

Implementing a Preloader

A preloader is a simple progress bar that displays the progress of loading the resources. Implementing a progress bar in javascript and html is easy and it improves the player experience, because he/she will have a ui feedback when the game starts.

What is next:

• Implementing piles and deck of piles
• Dealing cards from the deck
• Implementing Drag and Drops with rules
• Checking the games state.
