Legacy Solitaire

[Hiknefer]

Greetings Friends,

The Solitaire game by Wes Cherry that was included with Windows version 3.0 has always been my favorite and I still play a game or two almost every day. Since I discovered QB64PE I decided to write my own version (plays the same, but made some interface adjustments). Thanks to Terry Ritchie's amazing tutorial I had a great time learning and working on it. I greatly appreciate Terry's work, as well as the creators of QB64PE.

By the way, if anyone feels inclined to make a custom graphics set for this game (see the Notes.txt file in the .zip), please post it as a reply - surely others would enjoy it too. Also, please share the game/random seed number if you win in a single round without replenishing the draw stack!

Kind regards,
Hiknefer

Edit: A few improvements have been made since this first post; most notably, a single-round win now produces a plasma display generated by Dav's SuperPlasmas.bas code, which he graciously allowed me to use. The updated version is attached to this post.

Nice game!  This looks and plays pretty well for me so far.  The card numbers/colors are different that what I'm use to seeing on solitaire here, but I can 'deal' with that.  

Thanks for sharing your great work here.

Edit: Nice little menu/gui too.  Code is so clean and easy to understand.

Thanks for the kind words! I did notice a minor boo-boo so I updated the .zip file in the original post. It's barely noticeable unless someone wants to make his own custom game graphics. I've actually made a second set of graphics (same objects, just brown instead of green) so I'll upload it too. Have a great day!

Kind regards,
Hiknefer

+1 @Hiknefer plays intuiitively no surprises. Alittle disconcerting Red Spades and Clubs.

After about 4 games I got a winner, too bad when I put the game aside and brought it back it became misaligned with the top of the screen but here is snap:
   

Actually victory is assured!!!

Thankyou for sharing and welcome to the forum!

BTW an edit has occured since my download this morning, what did you change? Never mind I see the note in reply to Dav.

Yes, VICTORY IS IMMINENT! I can't imagine what could have caused the problem in your screen shot though - I have not seen that happen and there are no image coordinates involved with the PCopy command to set incorrectly... very mysterious... perhaps there's a bug in my code that's corrupting other areas of memory.

Thanks for the welcome!

Kind regards,
