Solitaire these days has Xbox integration, XP, levels, achievements, collectibles, events, ads, payment system, subscriptions for making it ad free, cheats behind a paywall, ... It's a bit silly.

Next up: Lootboxes for Minesweeper.
meanwhile pysol fan club edition has about 50 types of card games and takes 230 kilobytes of ram
I like it, but kept running into weird bugs (and I think dependency issues) with different versions of python.
Kpatience for me.
Python is dependency hell.
Unless you use Nix(OS)
Or Guix
Or similar systems
TBF I guess, it's the UI toolkits. I see this on Linux too - a "very small" app that does basically nothing except monitor a file for changes, takes many MB of RAM if it has a UI.
Since my RAM is almost never over half used, why not. Just make sure the OS swaps it out if something else needs a lot of RAM.
Wait until you see the solitaire game I'll definitely 100% make after I finish this class on C I'm taking this quarter!

Yeah, I would never want to make a game in C when things like Python or Godot exist.
You'll never fit the game in the boot sector of a floppy disk if you write it in python.
Oh no, how will we play it on modern hardware if we can’t put it in the boot sector of a floppy disk
The main problem with modern hardware is that it needs to have an abundance of resources because of sarcastic questions like this. There is no reason why memory-efficient programming should be considered outdated.
Just insert the disk.
That's what she said
