If you don&#8217;t, that&#8217;s okay.  Just know that right now is a pretty rough time for me, but it&#8217;s a lot rougher for someone that I love very much.  Maybe one of these days I&#8217;ll write more about it on this space, but this is too much of a public forum for it right now.<\/p>\n<p>So, because I have needed something to keep my mind semi-occupied when I&#8217;m not at work, I decided to write a major revision of <a href=\"solitaire\/\">Java solitaire<\/a>.  The game itself hasn&#8217;t changed a whole lot, but the look and feel definitely has.  If you haven&#8217;t played it in a while, give it a spin.  I&#8217;d appreciate any feedback.<\/p>\n<p>What follows is a list of changes that I made, if you&#8217;re interested.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nNew to version 3.1:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Added session statistics, under the &#8220;Information&#8221; (formerly &#8220;Help&#8221;) menu.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed a bug that I introduced in some of the new 3.0 logic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>New to version 3.0:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Converted entire application to Swing (Java&#8217;s new way of designing <acronym title=\"Graphical User Interface\">GUI<\/acronym>s).\n<ul>\n<li>Gave all of the applet the &#8220;native OS&#8221; look and feel.  In other words, if you play this game on Windows XP, it will look a lot like a Windows XP program.  If you&#8217;re a Mac user, hopefully it will look good there, although I have no way of testing.<\/li>\n<li>Converted the help interface to Swing and changed its interface to a tabbed pane.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Other changes:\n<ul>\n<li>New, more colorful card images!<\/li>\n<li>Smoother card selection.  Now the card doesn&#8217;t &#8220;snap to&#8221; the cursor; instead, the card is selected from the point where it is clicked.  Makes it look more professional.<\/li>\n<li>Optimized the imports (which should result in quicker loading).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I obviously haven&#8217;t written anything in a while, and if you are reading this, there is a pretty good chance that you know why.
