Spider

Android app: Spider Solitaire using a single card deck

NOTE: As of 4/15/20, stopping dev directly on master branch. Always keep master branch functioning, and develop new features on a separate branch which can be merged in after passing tests.

New features needed:

• Make layous look nicer
  • Main menu (res/layout/activity_main.xml)
  • Stats menu (res/layout/activity_stats.xml) [Good enough for v1.0]
    • Cheat: tap bottom right side of screen to win game (for testing stats menu)
• Option in main menu to show rules
• Animations for:
  • draw new cards (card moving to each stack),
  • completed stack (going up to top left)
  • show hints
• Visual response to illegal single tap (cards in stack spin if tapped but can't go anywhere)
• Loading/Splash screen
• Cache images instead of re-creating each time
• AppIntro to give breif overview of the app

-- Rules -- How to Play:

• Select a difficulty
  • Easy = 1 suit, Medium = 2 suits, Hard = 3 suits, Expert = 4 suits
• This game has the same rules as spider solitaire, but is set up like normal solitaire.
• Cards can be placed on any card with one higher value, or an empty stack.
• Card stacks can only be moved when the cards below are sequentially decreasing, and of the same suit.
• When 13 cards of the same suit, in order from K -> A, are created, a complete set is formed.
• When all 52 cards are completed, the game is won.
• Tap the hidden cards in the top right to draw 8 new cards (one is assigned to each stack).
• Press the Undo button in the bottom left to undo the previous move.
• If Undo is pressed twice in a row, only one move is relinquished. Additional consecutive undo's will not decrease move count.

Tips:

• A single tap of a card or stack of cards will move it to the most optimal stack.

Scoring:

• TBD
• Time into the game is the multiplier
• Actions have their own points
  • Completed stack = a lot
  • Revealing hidden card = a little

Move count:

• Every move adds one to the move count.
• Undo removes one move from the count.
• Consecutive undo's will not further reduce the move count.
