Per player feedback after the brief 4-colour-deck experiment: "can we make the card suit colors the same as a regular solitaire game would." Reverts the 4-colour split (`62b61cc`) and bumps both 2-colour hues to read more like a real Microsoft-Solitaire-on-dark-mode deck. ### Constants - `RED_SUIT_COLOUR`: `#fb9fb1` (Terminal pink, then briefly hearts-only) → `#e35353` (saturated red). More chromatic, less pastel; reads as "the red suit" rather than "a Terminal- themed pink." Visually distinct from `ACCENT_PRIMARY` `#a54242` (the brick-red CTA accent) so chrome and suit don't collapse to the same hue. - `BLACK_SUIT_COLOUR`: `#d0d0d0` (matched `TEXT_PRIMARY`) → `#e8e8e8` (near-white). Bumped slightly brighter so it reads as a chromatic-neutral counterpart to the new saturated red, not as "the same gray as body text." `TEXT_PRIMARY_HC` (`#f5f5f5`) is still brighter for the high-contrast boost path. - `RED_SUIT_COLOUR_HC`: `#ff8aa0` (pinkish boost matching the v0.21.0 pink default) → `#ff6868` (brighter saturated red). Now reads as "more chromatic" than the new default red, not "less saturated." - `DIAMOND_SUIT_COLOUR` and `CLUB_SUIT_COLOUR` deleted — the 4-colour split is gone, hearts/diamonds re-pair under `RED_SUIT_COLOUR` and clubs/spades under `BLACK_SUIT_COLOUR`. ### `card_face_svg.rs` - Module-level constants collapse from four (`SUIT_HEART` / `SUIT_DIAMOND` / `SUIT_CLUB` / `SUIT_SPADE`) back to two (`SUIT_RED` / `SUIT_DARK`) at the new saturated-red / near-white values. - `suit_paint()` reverts to the 2-colour pairing: hearts filled-red, diamonds outlined-red, spades filled-near-white, clubs outlined-near-white. Filled-vs-outlined glyph differentiation stays the always-on CBM fallback. ### `card_plugin.rs` - `text_colour()` reverts to a `card.suit.is_red()` bifurcation. Comment block updated to reflect the new truth table: red suits → saturated red (or CBM lime / HC brighter red); dark suits → near-white (or HC brighter near-white). ### Tests Test block restructured back to the pre-4-colour shape: two red/black pairing tests instead of one 4-colour distinctness test. CBM/HC compose tests retuned to the 2-colour world (red suits compose, dark suits compose; no separate diamonds-immune or clubs-immune cases). 1191 passing / 0 failing — net 0 from the prior commit (3 tests removed: the 4-colour distinctness test + the diamonds/clubs-immune test; 2 tests added back: the red-pairing + dark-pairing tests; existing tests amended to new colour assumptions). ### `card_face_svg_pin` All 52 face hashes drift (every suit's colour shifted); 5 back hashes unchanged. Surgical rebaseline. ### `design-system.md` §Suit Colors retitled "Two-color traditional pairing", table updated with the new hex values, CBM section text simplified back to red→lime swap on both red suits. Workspace clippy clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Solitaire Quest
A cross-platform Klondike Solitaire game written in Rust, with a card-theme system, full progression (XP / levels / achievements / daily challenges), and optional self-hosted sync so your stats follow you across machines.
Features
- Klondike Solitaire — Draw One and Draw Three modes; foundations are unlocked (any Ace lands in any empty slot, the slot then claims that suit)
- Card themes — bundled hayeah/playing-cards-assets default plus user-installable themes (drop a directory under the data dir or import a zip from Settings → Cosmetic)
- Modern HUD — reserved top band keeps cards from crowding the score readout; the action bar auto-fades when the cursor leaves it so it can't compete with the play surface
- Drag feel — every legal drop target is highlighted in green during drag; cards cast a soft drop shadow that lifts when picked up; the stock pile shows a remaining-count chip so you can see how close you are to a recycle
- Keyboard navigation — Tab cycles focus through buttons, arrow keys move within picker rows, Enter activates; works across every modal and the HUD action bar
- Progression — XP, levels, unlockable card backs and backgrounds
- 19 Achievements — including secret ones
- Daily Challenge — server-seeded so every player worldwide gets the same deal
- Leaderboard — opt-in, powered by your own self-hosted server
- Special Modes (unlocked at level 5): Zen, Time Attack, Challenge
- Sync — pull/push stats across devices via a self-hosted server
- Color-blind mode — blue tint on red-suit cards alongside the suit glyph
Building
Prerequisites
- Rust stable toolchain (
rustup install stable) - Linux:
libasound2-dev libudev-dev libxkbcommon-dev - macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools
# Fast development build
cargo run -p solitaire_app --features bevy/dynamic_linking
# Release build
cargo build -p solitaire_app --release
./target/release/solitaire_app
Controls
Every action also has a visible UI button — keyboard shortcuts are optional accelerators.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Left click / drag | Move cards |
| Double click | Auto-move card to its best legal destination |
| Right click | Highlight legal moves for a card |
| Space / D | Draw from stock |
| U | Undo |
| H | Hint (highlight a legal move) |
| N | New game |
| Z | Zen mode |
| G | Forfeit (during pause) |
| Tab / Shift+Tab | Cycle keyboard focus |
| Enter | Activate focused button / auto-complete (when badge is lit) |
| Esc | Pause / dismiss modal |
| F1 | Help / controls |
| F11 | Toggle fullscreen |
| S / A / P / O / L / M | Stats / Achievements / Profile / Settings / Leaderboard / Menu |
Card themes
The default theme ships embedded in the binary, so the game runs
self-contained with no external assets. To install another theme, drop a
directory containing a theme.ron manifest plus 53 SVG files (52 faces +
1 back) under the platform data dir's themes/ folder, or import a zip
from Settings → Cosmetic. The picker chip lights up the moment a new
theme is registered. Themes are SVG-based, so they rasterise cleanly at
whatever resolution the window happens to be.
Sync Server (optional)
To sync stats across machines, run the self-hosted server. See README_SERVER.md for setup instructions.
Once the server is running, open Settings → Sync Backend, enter the server URL and your username, and register an account from within the game.
Running Tests
# All tests (982 passing as of v0.11.0)
cargo test --workspace
# Just game logic (no display required)
cargo test -p solitaire_core -p solitaire_sync -p solitaire_data -p solitaire_server
# Lint
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
Credits
Built on Bevy and the wider Rust ecosystem
(Tokio, Axum, sqlx, Serde, kira, and many more). Card faces come from
hayeah/playing-cards-assets
(MIT, derived from the public-domain vector-playing-cards library); the
default card back is original work; the UI font is FiraMono-Medium (OFL).
All audio is synthesized programmatically by this project. See
