I am creating a new card game for Vim7 and wonder if anyone is interested to try it and give me feedback. The game is quite usable at the current state, though there are some pending issues. Here are a couple of snapshots of the game to get you interested:
http://haridara.googlepages.com/arimona.html http://haridara.googlepages.com/arimona-middle.html I have only tried the game so far on Windows, and the Unicode symbols that the game requires are found to be in the following fonts (out of those that I have installed): - Couriner New - Andale Mono - Lucida Console - MS Mincho - @MS Mincho You can download it from: http://haridara.googlepages.com/arimona.zip The game looks good with color schemes that have dark backgrounds (such as desert), but seems like I have to do some work for it to look good with some of the other schemes (like those that use ligher background, including the default). If you change your colorscheme, you need to use :Arimona! to reinitialize it. Here is the brief introduction from the plugin header. There is a known issues section which lists the issues that I am aware of. Instructions: To start the game use the :Arimona command. You can close the window and return back to the game anytime using the same command. To start a fresh game and discard the current state, suffix a bang(!) as :Arimona!. You have to move all the cards to the foundation (the top right corner). Use the below keys to play: h, j, k, l - move the focus. M, mm - move the card to foundation. C, cc - change the current pail between deck and cards. S, ss, <CR> - Select/Release cards. The game is pretty much like solitaire, but it is more likely to be finished because: - while moving cards on to card pails, symbol has no significance. - all the cards (including those on deck) are visible at all times. - you can move any card to empty pails (the first card doesn't need to be a King). Unlike in solitaire however, you can't move cards back from foundation. The game changes the global 'encoding' to "utf-8", as it uses the Unicode symbols to show the card symbols. I don't know the complete impact of this on an existing Vim session, so I recommend you run the game in a separate Vim instance only for now. You need to choose a font which includes the Unicode symbols for the card suits, such as the "Couriner New" on windows.
