**Araneo** is a concept of a Spider Solitaire implementation I wanted to make. I want to write it for [[uxn]], as part of [[uxnerie]]. Summer 2023 was the timeframe I thought of originally. As my Spider Solitaire hyperfixation faded, so did my will to implement Araneo.

= Inspirations
* The Windows XP Spider is a classic.
* The [[https://macspider.com | Mac Spider]] is a pretty solid game.
* Gotta try the GNOME one: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/aisleriot
* [[links>237]]

= Card sprites
Numerik [[https://merveilles.town/@d6/110344844458764963 | drew 8x16 tiles]] for UXN-based card games, especially Solitaire. This is perfect.

= The Mac Spider
The Mac Spider had the following interesting traits:
* No Hint.
* Clicking on a stack moves it to the most appropriate location. This alone is enough to make the game high-level and quite different. I want it.
* The completed stacks are not moved to base automatically.

= &c.
* Gotta store statistics.
* What is the game number generation algorithm?
* It's not as easy as it seems.
* I want the four suits to actually have four different colors. Not much left for the UI, since UXN supports no more than four colors at all.
