Syllabics Memory Trainer

As a bit of an experiment, I tried to learn how for the first time how to create an interactive web page, and for a topic chose a couple of ways to help me memorize/test myself in Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics , actually a small subset of them. This is the web page I ended up with. It's got lots of ...

Florida reflections wallpaper

Reflections of clouds in lilypad ponds, hanging flower baskets with a holiday accent, and a curvy beach. In the first two, it sort of looks at first glance like the lily pads are floating in the air, a bit surreal. Family pics with no restrictions (if I have chosen the Creative Commons licence corre...

Solitaire

Almost embarrassed to admit it, but I wrote a game of Klondike solitaire. Similar to the Hearts game I wrote last year. I just wanted to learn how to drag cards around the screen with the mouse. It can also be played by just clicking cards. Has autoplay, hinting, and some animation of game play (whi...

Re: Hearts

I love hearts, but rarely get to play it in reality anymore. Any thought to add a cutthroat option? I used to be part of a group that played quite regularly. There was always a lot of laughs and kibbitzing about card choices and missed plays. The computer game is fun, but a poor second. I hadn't he...

Re: Hearts

I can't even remember the last time I played hearts let alone how to or I'd try it. I remember playing a few games of spades when I was in college but that was many snows ago. Jay, I've discovered there is another use for this hearts game. Crank the slider over to the right for maximum speed and se...

Re: Hearts

I can't take credit for that or any of the other character artwork - they are public domain. But I did choose them for their "attitudes". I tried to make my own characters with an arctic theme, but it was pretty bad. I am incapable of drawing anything well, even with computer assistance. T...

Hearts

For my own fun I wrote a game of hearts. Not anywhere near so polished as the hearts game that comes with MX, but it does have a couple of not-so-usual game-play features, like being able to replay a hand and control the rate of play. It is developed in Free Pascal using the Lazarus IDE - on MX of c...
