Took a couple of reloads with IE for it to work correctly the first page load resulted in a large amount of un stylized text and images. Probably something to do with the stylesheet a &#106avascript. Second reload there was no background or animation and it got caught in a resizing images loop. Third reload and from then on everything worked fine.

Very nice game for &#106avascript running in a web browser and a good job &#111;n the aniamtions!<!--QUOTE--></td></tr></table></BLOCKQUOTE><!--/QUOTE--><!--ENDQUOTE--><br><br>Hrm...

Hmmm,

Well I am using IE 6. And I tried it again on Tuesday Augest 14, 2007 at 12:16pm GMT-5 and I get the same problem.

Internet Explorer reports an error with the script with the following output.

Line: 25
Char: 4
Error: 'Solitaire' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: http://worldofsolitaire.com/

This time a single refresh fixes the problem and the game works perfectly afterwards without any issues as far as I can tell.

I'll load up a VMWare image I have with Win2k and IE6 and take a look. Thanks for reporting the issue :)
No problem! Good luck with dev!
Congratulations! If this is your first real game, then I am impressed. I am amazed at the amount of polish in the game, especially the interface and visual style (even more so considering that most JavaScript games have very minimal interfaces with little actual graphics). The animations were great, I love the fact that it supports so many different games, and I thought that there were enough options included to appeal to most people. If this were available in a stand alone executable, it would easily offer a much better alternative to the card games included with Windows.

The game ran just fine in Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.6. I played Klondike (both styles), FreeCell, and Spider and I didn't notice any bugs or problems.

Thanks for the good comments!

It is indeed my first real game. You only get 1 chance to make a first impression so I like to make sure things are really polished, clean and as bug free as possible before I show people.

The entire game, written in &#106avascript does indeed work 'Offline' as well.
So I have on my to-do list create a 'Stand Alone' version that people can download. It will still run in the browser, just not need a network connection.

I've recently added some new things to the game:

* A new Card Deck
* More satisfying 'You Win!' screen
* Enhanced Statistics including pie and line charts:


I've tested things and it appears that the game works great on the following browser:
* IE 6
* IE 7
* FireFox (Win32 and Linux)
* Opera (Win32, Wii, Linux)
* Safari (Win32)
* Seamonkey (Linux)
* Konqueror (Statistic Charts don't show up)

Next on my list is to profile some code and improve performance here and there, as well as add lots of new solitaire types :)
