A couple of weeks ago, I saw a post from Tom Francis on twitter about a new solitaire card game design he was trying out. I quickly threw together a digital version of the game using some messy javascript, and had it basically working the next day. Not bad for a couple of hours work throwing it together. I posted a reply to share what I’d built and got some good responses - then things kind of snowballed.

Before long, I had various bits of feedback and some ideas of my own. I’d started pondering the possiblity of building a commercial version of the game when Tom updated his original post basically granting permission for exactly that.

Well, here we are again. I mean, here I am again. I’ve reinvented my various websites a lot over the years, but this time it feels a bit more important. I’m basically launching Fractal-Mind.com as a place to put my games.

I’m finally getting close to launching a commercial game independently for the first time! Which is kind of a big thing for me, even if the game isn’t something I would normally have tackled. But more about that later. For now, I’m going to do a quick write up about getting this site online, finally.
