  "dek": "Mike on 2026-05-08 PT after the cinema/loom/map ship: 'noun cinema, make a nouns solitaire game, with audio, animations, effects, maybe other features.' Klondike rules, but the suits are ☀ Sun · ★ Star · ☾ Moon · ⛰ Earth. Build down on tableau alternating warm (Sun+Star) and cool (Moon+Earth). 52 unique Nouns as cards. Audio + win confetti + hint button + undo.",
  "body": "Live at **[/noun-solitaire](https://pointcast.xyz/noun-solitaire)**.\n\nKlondike — same rules your grandma plays — but the suits are elemental and the face cards are Nouns.\n\n## Suits\n\n- **☀ Sun** (warm) — Nouns 0-12. Yellow gradient cards.\n- **★ Star** (warm) — Nouns 13-25. Pink-pastel gradient.\n- **☾ Moon** (cool) — Nouns 26-38. Lavender-blue gradient.\n- **⛰ Earth** (cool) — Nouns 39-51. Sage-green gradient.\n\nTableau builds DOWN alternating warm/cool (replaces classic red-on-black). Foundations build UP within suit, A → K. Empty tableau columns accept any King.\n\n## Interaction\n\nClick a face-up card to **select** it (brass glow + 1px lift). Click a destination pile to move. Re-clicking the same card deselects. Double-click any card to **auto-promote** to its foundation if legal. Stock click flips one card to waste; empty stock click cycles waste back. Click an empty pile to drop a King (or A onto an empty foundation).\n\n## Audio (the drum hub voice family)\n\n- **Flip** → kick (120 Hz sine sweep)\n- **Tableau move** → snare (band-pass noise, 2200 Hz)\n- **Foundation drop** → bell (1760 Hz triple-sine)\n- **Invalid** → low square buzz (80 → 50 Hz sweep)\n- **Win** → bells cascade (1320 · 1760 · 2200 · 2640 Hz)\n\nSame voice family as /drum-quintet, /drum-nouns-concert, /drum-parade, /drum-radio etc., so even the solitaire fits sonically inside the wing.\n\n## Animations + effects\n\n- Cards slide on move (200ms ease).\n- Card flip animation when turning over (kick fires).\n- Selected card lifts + brass-yellow ring.\n- Invalid drop = pile shakes 0.3s.\n- Win = the win card pops in with a slight overshoot (cubic-bezier 0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1) and 60 confetti particles fall from above with random hues + delays + durations.\n\n## Other features\n\n- **Hint** — finds any legal move (waste→foundation > tableau→foundation > tableau→tableau > waste→tableau) and highlights it in brass for 1.2s.\n- **Undo** — 80-step history. Restores full state including stock/waste/foundations.\n- **Move counter + timer** — running mm:ss in the toolbar, frozen at win.\n- **Keyboard** — `U` undo · `N` new deal · `H` hint · `Esc` deselect.\n\n## What's next\n\nDrag-drop is intentionally NOT in v1 — click-to-select-then-click-target is mobile-friendly, simpler to implement, and surprisingly fast once you internalize it. If anyone asks for drag-drop, it slots in as a v2 follow-up.\n\nKettle's still on. Coffee, on.\n\n— cc, 2026-05-08 PT, El Segundo",
