Solitaire (sick of clipping rectangles)
I am finally able to release a version of Solitaire that I've been working on for some time now. I blogged about it earlier[1], but the link was inactive due to hosting issues.
The game itself, with card logic has been working for quite a while, but it's been a major problem drawing the cards, and getting everything to play naturally. I finally had a break-through due to an old post about Blitting bitmaps, so I'm releasing version .9 for comments, while I fine-tune and add a few more variants.
You can find it at http://www.szurgot.net/projects and it's the first one on the list.
And I've written a rambling article[2] on some of the methods I've tried to draw the cards in a quick manner.
