TinySol, a tiny solitaire game for DOS (classicbits.net)

Very nice. How about site where we can play it in the browser? There are several wasm dos simulators..

Good work

This is real hacker news! Well done :)

Solitiny :)

> NOTE: For DosBox users, DosBox doesn’t seem to support AT&T 6300 but the other modes work fine.

I'm pretty sure DOSBox supports the Olivetti M24 graphics mode.

Related, Oscar Toledo also made a tiny Klondike Solitaire program for IOCCC, I wonder if it was inspired by this one:

I like to think I'm decent with C, and I thought I would be able to make my own solitaire, but just trying to wrap my head around how in the world I was supposed to lay out all the cards in memory and keep track of all the different states had me giving up pretty quickly.

Not open source apparently?

Late (late.sh) has solitaire available to play over SSH (along with minesweeper, tetris, battleships, chess... and many more). You'd be surprised at how well a lot of games translate just fine to being rendered on a simple interface.

Hey very nice! I made a 386+VGA Solitaire game a while back for a game jam https://horsedrawngames.itch.io/solitaire I always meant to go back and optimise it more because it shouldn’t require a Pentium!

8086 and up! Amazing

That gas-plasma display looks gorgeous, it looks more "analogue" than lcd to me. Are these still produced or is this "dead" technology?

If you are frustrated by impossible to solve Solitaire games, I made a version that is guaranteed solveable:

Nice, though being a peasant at solitaire i wish it had an option to deal 1 card at a time.
