Short: Logical patience-type card game
Uploader: darrylh@powerup.com.au (Darryl Hartwig)
Author: darrylh@powerup.com.au (Darryl Hartwig)
Type: game/board
This is a patience-type card game with a difference. It's based on FreeCell
from the PC.
Version 1.4:
- Fixed bug when trying to load in a game solution after having quit FreeCell
during play (and restarting). It was trying to find the solution in the main
directory - not the Solutions directory (this was introduced in v1.3).
- When you have the number of FreeCells set to anything other than four and you
load a game solution, the number of FreeCells is set to four. If any other
number, it could interfere with the playing of the solution.
- Added keyboard shortcuts for the VCR control when playing a game solution.
- Thu guru (8000000B) that some people were getting can be solved by getting
the latest version of SetPatch (43.6b) from the Amiga International website.
The URL is http://www.amiga.de.
- When you made an invalid move (one that didn't result in an actual move) and
you clicked 'undo move' - the previous move BEFORE the bad move didn't undo
(as it should). It now does.
- If a solution already exists for the game you are about to play, a requester
now appears giving you the following options: Play it again, choose another
game, browse the solution, or cancel.
- Added palette requester under the Options menu. You can now choose your own
colours and save them. If you have the multiple stats option set, a palette
is saved for each different stats file.
Version 1.3:
- Added single move undo (I still think it's cheating!).
- You can now quit FreeCell in the middle of a game and continue it on your
next session.
- Added a tool dock which contains 4 buttons to Start a new game, select a
game, restart a game and undo the last move. For those people who are too
lazy to use the menu. If you close this window, you can open it again from
the menu.
- You can use the 'help' key to bring up the guide.
- If you didn't like my idea of multiple statistics files, you can now switch
off that annoying stats file requester and get playing sooner! See the guide
for details.
- For new stats files, the original display screen is now cloned from Workbench.
This may help some people with graphic boards who were having trouble starting
FreeCell with a PAL (640 x 256) screen.
- There might have been some instances where the AutoMove() didn't operate
after initial keyboard use. Fixed.
- Added the ability to load the solution to a game and play through it. This
is so you can see how someone else solved the game - or use it for
educational or fun value.
- You can now change the number of FreeCells during a game. This can only be
done if you resign the current game.
- The solutions are now stored in their own directory.
Version 1.2:
- Fixed bug where some interesting graphics showed up when right clicking on an
empty column.
- Corrected 'Select New Game' requester (expanded it a bit to fit the new
game numbers).
- Added new feature whereby you can select the number of Free Cells available
for play. Any number from 0 to 4 can be selected.
- Added new feature whereby you can save the solution for any game that you
complete. The game is logged as you play.
- You can now keep more than one statistics file. At the start of the game,
a file requester allows you to select one. This means that you can keep
separate stats files for each person who plays the game, or two or more for
yourself.
- The stats file now keeps note of the last game you played - handy if you are
a person who wants to play each game from 1 to 999,999,999 in order!
- The 'Load Set Game' now uses a file requester.
- When playing the 'set game', you won't get a 'resign' requester anymore when
you want to play a new game or quit.
- A screen mode requester has been added under the Options menu.
- Small bug fixed where after winning a game and selecting a game to play, it
only allowed you to play game 1.
- Fixed bug where if you resign a game (by starting a random new game or
selecting one), the 'game lost' count didn't increment.
- (I think) I fixed bug where GURU visited when displaying statistics before
playing first game of a session.
- Fixed bug where you have two adjacent rank cards in the Free Cells, and you
can put the higher rank card on top of the lower card.
- Changed some of the requesters to use EasyRequest() - makes them look
prettier and uses a lot less code.
Version 1.1:
- Added Doubleclick option (under Options menu). If switched on, allows you to
double click to remove a card quickly to a Free Cell.
- Added two new screen modes - PAL and NTSC.
- Designed a smaller set of cards (71 x 60 - the original was 71 x 91) for the
PAL and NTSC screen modes (it will still be fairly restrictive space-wise,
especially for NTSC).
- Allowed higher range of game selections - now 1 to 999,999,999 (I still don't
know if these games are all unique or not).
- Removed the Cancel button from the 'Select Game' requester. It didn't serve
any real purpose.
- When quitting FreeCell with a game in progress, now asks if you want to
resign first (instead of just informing you that you resigned the game).
- Added keyboard shortcut 'F3' for 'Select Game' menu item.
- Added new feature ('Load set game' under Game menu) allowing you to set up a
deal the way you like and then play it. Enter the deal into a text file
(see guide) and select this menu item. Good for testing those unsolvable
hands from the Windows version of FreeCell. This will not affect the
statistics.
Version 1.0:
- Original version.
