Card Games: Clock Patience (aka Clock Solitaire)

[Hutchboy]

Hi,

Attached is a LiveCode version of Clock Solitaire I am calling Clock Patience. This is a bare bones implementation of the core game. It is open source and all of the code, including creating the user interface, is contained in the stack script.

This stack can be a scaffold for anyone wishing to modify it as they want. Some ideas: incorporate card suit graphic icons; incorporate card animation to move selected card to its destination; add a timer and scoring.

Note: if you copy the stack script into a new stack and uncomment the preOpenStack handler it will create my original 1400 x 800 stack layout I used to tweak the arrangements until I had a nice 1024 x 768 layout.


[I've taken down the game for now...something is corrupted and it is not working as it had previously. Will repost when fixed]

I do not see how to even start playing. After hitting "New Game", nothing reacts.

Hi,

Craig...you're right, something isn't working so I've taken it down and will repost when fixed. Worked fine here at home but when I downloaded the file I placed in the forum and ran it I ran into the problem you had.

Hi,

I'm taking the game down until I get it sorted why it works at home but not when I upload it here.

Nope.

When I select "New Game", what might(should) be my next action? A click? Drag?

Hi,

I guess I haven't figured out what might be causing this game not to work correctly. It works fine at home but it seems when I upload it as a zip file and then download it to test it the game is unresponsive. I think I will take it down until I figure it out, I am thinking it is probably related to the user interface code.
