Loading q3dm17sample.map seems to work fine.

However trying to Quick Play the map gives me:

Download the source code, open it in Visual Studio Code (free), use AI tools like claude code and copilot to learn about it.

I wrote an always solvable Yukon solitaire game (no ads, no sign up).

https://solitairle.com

The solver is written in Lisp and then I tried one in Rust.

Great fun in both languages, but the Rust one is faster :-)

raymond_goo — Wed, 06 May 2026 13:12:53 +0000

Quote: If anyone out there has the dynamic0.mul or dynamic0.bkp (server savegames) or regions.txt (spawn definitions) or resbank.mul (resources definitions) files from the original Ultima Online servers, circa 1997-2003, I’d be very grateful if you could send them to me. It seems very unlikely that the original dynamic0.mul or dynamic0.bkp files are truly lost, since they were surely backed up in multiple safe places.

These files would be extremely valuable to produce a highly accurate reproduction of the Ultima Online world content.

I have two friends who started at a young age and they fucked their lives with this shit. It's not anecdotal at this point.

Crafting Interpreters is the one thing that LLM's can do really really well. Because it is so easy to define and test.

Here are is a new LUA interpreter implemented in Python:

So like slavery? The thing once considered good?

I am not the standard, that's my whole point.

The world does not agree on what is good and bad.

That's the problem.

Truths and morals have changed for all of human history.

Some people still think the earth is flat.

Some people still think, raping captured women (what the right hand possesses) is good.

I'm working on Solitairle – an ad-free Yukon solitaire game where every board is guaranteed solvable: https://solitairle.com Why? Most solitaire apps frustrate players with impossible games or endless randomness. Solitairle is designed for people (like me) who want a satisfying win through skill, not luck. Every day brings a new, solvable challenge, complete with helpful tools (back button, dead-end warnings) to keep it fun and frustration-free.

I’m especially interested in feedback from people who:

Enjoy casual puzzle games but get discouraged by unwinnable setups,

Value clean, minimalist interfaces without ads,

Have ideas for daily challenges or fun player stats.

Would love your thoughts: What frustrates you most about digital solitaire? What would make you want to play daily?
