What your Solitaire-inspired game will do

Build an original browser Klondike solitaire game called Quiet Deck. Players draw from the stock, arrange descending alternating-color tableau columns, and build suit foundations. Start with one clearly documented draw-one ruleset and unlimited stock passes. Use original or properly licensed cards and a distinct table design; do not copy a commercial collection.

  • Dealing: shuffle exactly one fifty-two-card deck with a seeded generator and deal the standard seven tableau columns with only top cards face up. Show the seed and distinguish a random deal from a guaranteed-solvable one.
  • Tableau moves: move a valid face-up descending alternating-color sequence onto a compatible card, or a king-led sequence onto an empty column. Turn over an exposed face-down top card as part of the same move.
  • Stock and foundations: draw one card to waste, recycle waste in a documented order, and build each foundation from ace to king in one suit. Validate card ownership and top-card access before every move.
  • Undo and session controls: undo/redo complete moves including flips and stock recycle; pause/resume; restart the same deal; or confirm a new deal. A hint shows a currently legal move without claiming the deal is solvable.
  • Persistence and completion: save card piles, face-up flags, seed, history, move count, and status after every move. Detect completion when all cards are in foundations, resume after reload, and allow validated save export/import.

Is a DIY Solitaire alternative right for you?

Klondike is a bounded card-state project that exercises shuffling, legal move validation, conservation of cards, and complete reversible commands.

A useful first project: One polished draw-one solitaire ruleset with original card art and accessible click/tap controls.

Start with a smaller version

Move a tableau sequence that exposes a hidden card, undo the move including the flip, and verify all fifty-two cards still exist in exactly one pile.

Know the tradeoffs

Random deals are not automatically solvable. Stock recycle order, exposed-card flips, and sequence movement must be specified; the MVP excludes a solver and multi-game collection parity.

Understand the build-vs-buy tradeoffs

Building your own Solitaire: useful answers

Is this a ready-to-use Solitaire alternative?

This page provides a customizable build brief for a Klondike solitaire game with legal pile moves, seeded deals, undo, and saves. It is not a hosted app. Your AI coding agent implements the software; you then need to test, run, and maintain it.

Can I customize the Solitaire clone prompt?

Yes. Choose Product & audience, Design, Features, Tech stack, or Data & behavior in the editor. Save and copy the complete assembled prompt, or download it as Markdown. Edits are saved in this browser.

What does the starting version leave out?

Test seeded deal reproduction, invalid mixed-order sequence moves, exposed-card flips, king-only empty columns, foundation suit/rank rules, recycle order, and undo after drawing or recycling. Test small-screen tap controls and corrupted saves. Exclude copied card art, five-game collection parity, solver guarantees, and network competition.

Original software. Familiar inspiration.
