I decided to take my SVG Solitaire game and make it into FreeCell, the game that comes with Microsoft Windows. Click here to play. Requires IE+ASV, Firefox 1.5 or Opera 9 TP2
It took roughly 30 minutes to change Solitaire into FreeCell, then over 1 hour to debug stupid/silly errors. I was pretty tired last night, but that's probably a pretty good breakdown of the software development process (X minutes to design/code, at least 2X to test). Of course it still probably has some minor bugs here and there (please let me know) and I know the layout could use some work. Very playable in IE+ASV, but dragging cards is still pretty slow in Firefox 1.5 and Opera 9 TP2.
Strange, but I can only see the initial screen per Opera with the prepared places for cards, but there is no interaction.
Ahh.. Maybe this is because I am using Opera 8.0 at the moment.. I will upgrade my software ASAP.
It seems that Opera 9 is still in development.
However I could successfully launch this game in Firefox 1.5. Anyway I still faced a problem – Queens and Jays are not shown (no Q and J letters on the cards).
Hi Archatas, as per my original post: “Requires IE+ASV, Firefox 1.5 or Opera 9 TP2”
Firefox has issues in SVG text that cause some text to be hard to read. I recommend maximizing your browser window, this might help solve your problem.
Yep. Fullscreen (F11) solved the text rendering problem in Firefox.
Cool job anyway… Do you have some larger projects with SVG for the future in your mind? Do you find SVG a perspective technology?

stelt – thanks, can you tell me what browser fails this? I don’t see such an error in either Fx2, O9 or Safari 3…
