funman300 ddb65403c2 feat(engine): revert to traditional 2-colour deck with saturated red + near-white
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.

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 CREDITS.md for the full list and license details.
