Solitaire web game now running GSAP!

[Sembiance]

Greetings

 

I just converted my web game (link at bottom) over to GSAP using Draggable, TweenMax and TimelineMax!

 

I launched the site over 10 years ago, built on YUI2.

About 6 months ago I decided it was time to drag it into the modern age, so I set upon a total front end re-write, this time basing all animations and drag/drop on GSAP!

 

I deployed the update 2 weeks ago. Since then about 1 million unique users have spent over 10.9 million hours playing. Not a single GSAP bug or issue has come up!

 

GSAP has been ROCK SOLID. WOOT!

 

I just wanted to THANK YOU for making an amazing product that's allowed me to do this massive re-write and launch without having to worry about the animation/dragging aspects.

 

Thanks again!

 

PS: The new GSAP based website is https://worldofsolitaire.com

The old YUI2 version is here: http://legacy.worldofsolitaire.com

That's great news. Thanks for sharing. I just played a few games. Worked very well!

Really nice! I was wondering how you were making out with the new version, but it looks like there are no card physics. Was that too much trouble to implement?

I played around with the physics for a bit, but couldn't get it to a point where it "felt" good to me. In the end I decided to punt on it and maybe try again in the future. Thanks to the helpful advice here from when I asked, I'm sure I can get it working nicely, but it's just a matter of me spending some time with it and honestly, it's not been a feature anyone has ever asked for, I just thought it might be cool to have, but I'm also wondering if some of the players would find it annoying

Hello there, Im really sorry for bumping old thread, but Im searching similar information about similar project, can someone help me please?

Hi @dianacrown88. If you need some help with a GSAP-specific question, please start a new thread and make sure you include a minimal demo (like a CodePen, Stackblitz, or CodeSandbox) that very clearly illustrates the issue you're wrestling with using as little code as possible and we'd be happy to take a peek.

For me, it's incredible that you've managed to seamlessly transition from YUI2 to GSAP, bringing modern animations and drag/drop functionality to your users. The fact that you've had over a million unique users and no issues speaks volumes about GSAP's reliability and your skill in implementing it.
Personally, when I have some downtime, I often find myself playing spider solitaire online—it's a relaxing way to unwind and keep my mind engaged. It's great to see how tools like GSAP can empower developers to enhance user experiences without worrying about technical glitches.
