I give you… SOLITEUR

I’ve been playing Solitaire on a daily basis since I was around 11 years old, and for the past 3 years I’ve had this idea for a Solitaire game engine floating around in my head. I wanted a flexible game engine that would let me define the game setup and rules in a JSON file. It had to be built on a relatively modern tech stack. It had to look good with the look and feel of playing with an actual deck of cards, which means that all of the movements had to be properly animated without shortcuts for things like Freecell “supermoves”.

I’ve been using Apple computers as my daily drivers for around 20 years now. I’ve had iPods since the good old click wheel days, and the iPhone has been in my pocket since around 2008. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on apps and subscriptions during that time.

I recently discovered this really cool feature that Homebrew has. You can adopt applications that you obtained from other sources to Homebrew if they have casks available.
