Hi, HN! I've spent the last few years building Project Forge, a web application generator/manager, and I'm excited to release it today. Project Forge helps you create and maintain …

Confirmed! I've been happily working at Fevo for years, more than a thousand miles from headquarters.

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 f…

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 lates…

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 …

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,…

Fixed, thanks for the report!

Fixed, thanks for the report!

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…

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

Linux 32-bit Build: https://s3.amazonaws.com/solitaire.gg/linux/Solitaire.gg.x32... It looks like I exceeded your texture memory. I use pretty high resolutions (targeting 4K displa…

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 …

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 ser…

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.

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…
