Mini Game Templates · Solitaire 2.0 Pack

🏠 Overview

10 fully playable mini-games, each with boosters, achievements, reskin slots, a first-run tutorial, per-level difficulty scaling and light/dark theming — all driven by one shared runtime.

Shared capabilities

⚙ How it works

This is a procedural-UI games template. Every game builds its own interface and logic in C# at runtime inside the RectTransform you give it — there are no hand-placed prefabs to wire up. The shipped demo scene is a pre-baked snapshot of that build, so you can inspect the full hierarchy without pressing Play; on Play it rebuilds itself and becomes fully interactive.

The Studio

Open Tools > Mini Game Templates > Studio for per-game tuning panels. Settings you edit are saved to ScriptableObject assets under Assets/MiniGameTemplates/Resources/Config/ and loaded by the games at runtime.

Customization at a glance

⚡ Quick start

1. Import MiniGameTemplates-Solitaire2.unitypackage. If Unity offers to import TMP Essentials, accept — the demo UI uses TextMeshPro.
2. Open Assets/MiniGameTemplates/Demo/MiniGameTemplates_Solitaire2.unity. The full demo is already baked into the scene.
3. Press Play — the dashboard lists every Solitaire 2.0 game; pick, play, and try the boosters and cheat rail.
4. Open Tools > Mini Game Templates > Studio and tune any game's settings.
5. (Optional) Open Tools > HLK > Guided Setup to configure the bundled LiveOps kit — ads, IAP, notifications, rate-us and more (see the LiveOps Kit section).
6. To ship a single game inside your own UI, use the IMiniGame contract:

IMiniGame game = new AcesUpGame();
game.Mount(hostRect, context);   // context : IMiniGameContext
// ... later, when done:
game.Unmount();

🛠 Architecture

The IMiniGame contract

public interface IMiniGame {
    string Id { get; }                 // stable snake_case id, e.g. "solitaire2_aces_up"
    string DisplayName { get; }
    string Category { get; }
    string ShortDescription { get; }
    void Mount(RectTransform host, IMiniGameContext ctx);
    void Unmount();
    void NewRound();
    IEnumerable<CheatAction> GetCheatActions();
}

Auto-discovery

Per-game folder layout

Runtime flow

Mount(host, ctx) → NewRound() → player input loop → RoundWon / RoundLost event → NewRound() or Unmount()

🎮 Aces Up

Discard low cards, leave the four aces.

How to play

1. Tap a column's top card to discard it when another column shows a higher card of the SAME suit. Aces are high, so they can never be beaten.
2. Stuck? Tap the stock to deal four fresh cards. Empty a column by moving a top card into it. Leave only the four Aces to win.

🎮 Clock

Beat the clock before the fourth King turns up.

How to play

1. The deck is dealt face-down into a clock: each hour holds its rank (1 = Ace … 12 = Queen) and the centre pile holds the Kings. Tap the lit centre pile to flip the first card.
2. Each flipped card slides under its matching hour, then you continue from that pile. Reveal all 52 to win — but if the fourth King turns up too soon you're stuck.

🎮 Monte Carlo

Pair up touching cards of equal rank.

How to play

1. Tap a card to select it, then tap a touching card of the SAME rank to remove the pair. Touching means next to it across, down, or diagonally.
2. Out of pairs? Hit Consolidate to slide the cards up and deal fresh ones from the stock. Clear all 52 cards to win.

🎮 Accordion

Squeeze the whole deck into a single pile.

How to play

1. The whole deck is laid out left to right. Tap a pile to fold it onto the pile 1 or 3 spots to its left when their top cards share a suit or a rank.
2. Every fold closes the gap and shifts the line left. Keep squeezing until the entire deck collapses into a single pile to win.

🎮 Wish

Remove every pair — make your wish come true.

How to play

1. Tap a pile's top card to select it, then tap another top card of the SAME RANK to remove both to the discard.
2. Clear all eight piles to win. Stuck with no matching tops? Spend a Reshuffle to re-deal the cards you have left.

🎮 Gaps

Slide cards into the gaps to sort each row.

How to play

1. A gap can be filled only by the card one rank higher and the same suit as the card on its LEFT. Tap that card to slide it in. A gap at the far left of a row takes any 2.
2. Build each row 2,3,...,K of a single suit. Out of moves? Tap Reshuffle to deal the loose cards into the gaps again. Sort all four rows to win.

🎮 Baker's Dozen

Build the foundations from thirteen short columns.

How to play

1. All 52 cards are dealt face-up into thirteen short columns. Tap a column's top card to send it to a foundation when it follows in suit, starting from the Ace.
2. Can't play to a foundation? Tap a top card, then tap another column to drop it on a card one rank higher (any suit). Empty columns stay empty. Clear all four foundations to win.

🎮 Beleaguered Castle

Storm the castle — clear all eight wings to the aces.

How to play

1. The four Aces start on the foundations. Move the OUTER card of any wing onto another wing's outer card if it is exactly one rank lower (any suit). Only one card moves at a time.
2. Tap an outer card to send it up to its foundation when it follows in suit. Empty wings accept any card. Build all four foundations up to the Kings to storm the castle.

🎮 Calculation

Build the foundations by ones, twos, threes and fours.

How to play

1. Each foundation starts on A, 2, 3 or 4 and builds UP by that step, wrapping past the King: the +2 pile goes 2,4,6,8,10,Q,A,3… Suit never matters. Each pile's label shows the rank it needs next.
2. Tap the stock to turn over the current card, then tap a foundation to play it — or tap a waste pile to park it for later. Build all four foundations up to the King to win.

🎮 Osmosis

Seep cards into the rows once their rank appears above.

How to play

1. Tap a reserve top to seep it into a row. The top row takes its suit in any order; lower rows need the SAME RANK already placed in the row just above.
2. Out of plays? Tap the stock to turn over a waste card. Place all 52 cards into the four rows to win.

💥 Boosters

Per-game power-ups with persistent counts and refund safety, auto-discovered from each game's <Game>BoosterSpec.cs. The demo dashboard renders them as the bottom booster bar.

Activating a booster

bool OnBoosterActivated(string key) {
    if (_ended || _busy) return false;   // returning false REFUNDS the charge
    switch (key) { /* per-key effects */ }
    return false;                        // unknown key -> refund
}

Award boosters programmatically with BoosterManager.Add(gameId, key, count).

Full booster catalogue

🏆 Achievements

Progression goals per game, defined in <Game>AchievementSpec.cs and tracked persistently by AchievementManager. Unlocks pop a toast card over the game and auto-credit any coin reward. Each game's own goals are listed in its section above.

Reset helpers for testing: AchievementManager.ResetForGame(gameId) and AchievementManager.ResetAll() (also exposed in the demo's cheat rail).

🎨 Reskins

Drop in your own art per slot, per game — no code required. Open Tools > Mini Game Templates > Reskin Editor, pick a game, and assign an image per slot. Art is copied to Resources/Reskin/<gameId>/<slot>.png and imported as a Sprite automatically. In-game, the Skin pill toggles between Default and Custom art.

Per-game slot list

🎯 Tutorials

First-run overlay walkthroughs, defined declaratively in <Game>TutorialSpec.cs as an ordered list of captioned spotlight steps. Each shows once per game's first session and can be replayed from the demo's cheat rail. Reset with TutorialManager.Reset(gameId).

📈 Level scaling

Per-game difficulty progression — auto-generated out of the box, fully editable in the Studio.

int level = LevelManager.GetCurrent(gameId);          // player's current level
var diff  = LevelManager.GetDifficultyForCurrent(gameId);
float mult = diff.Get("difficulty", 1f);              // ramp targets / timers / AI

The Studio's Levels editor can regenerate a curve (level count, start/end difficulty) or hand-edit individual levels; edits are saved as a LevelSet asset under Resources/Config/Levels/<gameId>.asset. Reset progress with LevelManager.ResetProgress(gameId).

🌙 Light & dark mode

One toggle re-themes the whole scene — chrome and every game. Games read every colour from ctx.Theme, a MiniGameTheme asset that carries both palettes:

theme.ApplyMode(light: true);   // swap palettes
bool isLight = theme.IsLightMode;

The demo dashboard's header has a DARK / LIGHT pill; the choice persists between sessions (default: dark). Both palettes are contrast-checked — panel/text/accent pairings stay readable in either mode.

🎁 LiveOps Kit (bundled)

The full HyperCasual LiveOps Kit is included in this pack — no stripping, nothing to buy on top. It provides the production meta-game layer around the games:

How it is hooked up in this demo

• Vibrations: every game's sound events (taps, wins, errors) fire matching haptics through the kit automatically.
• Rewarded ad: winning a round with a coin reward offers a “Watch Ad” doubler; completing the (mock) ad credits the bonus.
• Interstitial: auto-shows after every 3rd round (skipped after a No-Ads purchase).
• Banner + shop: the cheat rail's Ads & IAP section toggles the banner and opens the simulated IAP shop (Coin Pack, No Ads, Starter Bundle) through the kit's store backend.

Setup & going live

1. Everything works out of the box in the editor with mock/dummy backends — no SDKs required, nothing to configure for the demo.
2. Open Tools > HLK > Open Toolset (or Tools > HLK > Guided Setup) to configure ad units, IAP products, notifications, rate-us and the rest.
3. To go live, install the SDKs you want (e.g. AdMob, Unity Ads, Firebase) — the kit detects them automatically via scripting defines (HLK_ADMOB, HLK_UNITY_ADS, HLK_FIREBASE, …) and switches from mock to real backends.

Full kit documentation: Assets/MiniGameTemplates/HyperCasualLiveOpsKit/Documentation/HLK-Documentation.html (also listed under Tools > Mini Game Templates > Welcome > Open Documentation).

➕ Add to your project

Path A — use the bundled demo dashboard

Add Assets/MiniGameTemplates/Demo/MiniGameTemplates_Solitaire2.unity to your build settings. It auto-discovers every imported game and provides the picker, HUD, boosters, achievements and theming out of the box.

Path B — embed a single game in your own UI

IMiniGame game = new AcesUpGame();
game.Mount(hostRect, context);   // your IMiniGameContext implementation
// ...
game.Unmount();                  // ALWAYS unmount before destroying the host

Listening to events

ctx.Events.Subscribe(GameEvents.RoundWon,     payload => { /* celebrate */ });
ctx.Events.Subscribe(GameEvents.RoundLost,    payload => { /* retry UI  */ });
ctx.Events.Subscribe(GameEvents.ScoreChanged, payload => { /* HUD       */ });

⚙ Customizing

Override default settings

Each game reads a ScriptableObject settings asset (see each game's Configurable settings table above). Create one via Create > Mini Game Templates > Solitaire 2.0, drop it in Resources/Config/, or mutate <Game>Settings.Default at runtime before mounting.

Boosters: add / remove / rebalance

• Remove: delete the BoosterDef from the game's spec.
• Add: append a BoosterDef and handle its key in the game's booster handler.
• Grant: BoosterManager.Add(gameId, key, count).

Audio

Games call ctx.Audio.Play(SfxKind.…). The bundled ProceduralAudioBus synthesizes all SFX at runtime — no audio files to manage; swap in your own IAudioBus to use recorded audio.

🧰 Adding new games

1. Create Assets/MiniGameTemplates/Runtime/Solitaire2/MyGame/.
2. Add MyGameGame.cs implementing IMiniGame, decorated with [MiniGame("…", "My Game", Category = MiniGameCategory.Solitaire2)].
3. Add MyGameSettings (optional) with a static Default getter.
4. Add the spec files — MyGameBoosterSpec, MyGameAchievementSpec, MyGameReskinSpec, MyGameTutorialSpec — all auto-discovered.
5. Done: the dashboard and Studio list your game automatically. No edits to existing files.

💡 Troubleshooting

Text is invisible / fonts look broken

Import TMP Essentials: Window > TextMeshPro > Import TMP Essential Resources. The demo UI uses TextMeshPro's default font.

My game doesn't show up in the dashboard

Check it implements IMiniGame, carries the [MiniGame] attribute, and its assembly references MiniGameTemplates.Core.

A booster button does nothing when pressed

The booster's key must exactly match a case in the game's booster handler — unknown keys refund silently by design.

Tutorials replay every time I press Play in the editor

The "seen" flag is stored per game id in PlayerPrefs; clearing PlayerPrefs resets it. Replay on demand from the cheat rail instead.

Reskin sprites don't apply

Import the art through Tools > Mini Game Templates > Reskin Editor (it handles the copy + import settings), then flip the in-game Skin pill to Custom.

Coroutine errors about destroyed RectTransforms when switching games

Call Unmount() before destroying the host. The unmount path stops the game's coroutines and tweens.

Ads say “SIMULATED” / no real ads show

By design: without an ad SDK installed the kit uses its mock backend, which draws clearly-labelled placeholder ads so every flow is testable. Install a real provider (e.g. AdMob via its package) and the kit switches to it automatically — see the LiveOps Kit section.
