Solo Poker

Project Description

I build the same game when I was a teenager in Visual Basic on an Amiga 2000. 30 years later... there you go!

Initial Prompt

I want to build a simple solitaire poker game in javascript. Let's start by designing a table and a grid of 5 by 5 placeholder for the cards. Nice! Now design a class for the cards and the deck. You'll find the images for the cards in the `/assets` folder...

Lessons Learned

What worked: Gemini did a terrific job at the game play and animation
What needed help: Adapting the UI for a small mobile screen. I ended up with manual tweaks to the CSS

About Me

When I don't code for work, I code for fun! On CO-DERS I like to post some of the results of my vibe coding sessions, as I learn how to build with AI.

I'm rediscovering the origins of my passion for coding: creating something new, visually appealing, with surprising behaviors and functions.

Stuff I do

I come up with project ideas all the times
I'm writing a book
I love my family

One little bug, then many of them. Can they be enjoyable to look at? (touch the screen to enable debug mode that shows their target and they field of view)

Fireflies

Speak to the fireflies and get inspired by their beautiful dance.
