Scoundrel Solitaire port from iOS

Hey everyone! I’m fairly new to Haiku, but have been really enjoying my time with the OS over the last couple weeks. I’ve started working porting my Scoundrel Solitaire iOS app to Haiku, and I’ve found the process very enjoyable so far! ( ‎Scoundrel Solitaire App - App Store )

Here are some screenshots of the current state of the game:

I’m hoping to get it polished up and on Haiku Depot in the next couple weeks

Looks nice, although not much like a solitaire game :winking_face_with_tongue:! We’ll stay tuned!

Did you have to rewrite the code completely, or did you use something else than Swift?

Thanks! In this case solitaire is being used in its more general form meaning “one player card game” :grin:

Here is a really good youtube video on how it is played with a standard deck of cards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fP-QLtWQZs

I wrote the original Swift code myself and have been trying out Claude Code as a tool to help translate it all into c++. I’ve been pretty impressed how much it has sped up the process so far!
