Description
I would like to propose the game 'Portcullis' for inclusion in future versions of Aisleriot. I've written up a rules .xml file that you can view here: https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/27258/portcullis.xml
My coding skills are about 15 years out of date... so I probably can't offer much help in terms of actually scripting the game. But I would love to do whatever I can to help make this a reality. Advise, playtest, whatever.
If my descriptions are unclear, I would be happy to provide pictures and/or video explaining the game.
The only other resource that I can offer is an amateurish version of the game that I hacked together and put online. But sadly, it can only be played with Internet Explorer. I know, I know... please don't hate me. If so inclined, you can try it here: http://swordplay.net/solitaire/
Some background:
My family and I have been playing this wonderful solitaire variant for decades. Three generations have become hooked and we have taught it to countless others. We have never found any description of this game on the Internet or in books. And we have never found a computer version. I would love to get it included in Aiseriot as a way of sharing our game with the world.
The original inventor of the game has been contacted, and he does not even remember it. He gave us his blessing to take over custodianship of the game.
Thank you so much!
