Forum Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has recently released classic card game, Solitaire for S60 5th Edition, as an example application to demonstrate the touch features of the platform. In that sense, in addition to tapping the cards, users can also drag and drop them around, just like they would do on a desktop computer with a mouse.
Also included in the game is the support for tactile feedback using the Touch Feedback API, to show developers how they can use the functionality in their apps. Cards are implemented as Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) icons, but the example also provides an option to draw them using methods of the graphics context class CWindowGc…
Interested to develop for S60 5th Edition or just want to play the game? Here’s a link to the Forum Nokia page with all the details from where you can also download the code.

That a site like Symbian Freak does not make the difference between an example application and a cracked commercial app that is clear. Why would Intomobile join that stupid game and why would you direct end-users towards an example application hosted on an software development community site this is beyond my understanding.
By the way, what is this supposed to mean: “…Cards are implemented as Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) icons, but the example also provides an option to draw them using methods of the graphics context class CWindowGc…” ? Lame, really lame …
Good points, but we also have developers among our readers. And we need to address their needs as well.
