- Golf Solitaire v1.0
- ===================
-
- What is Golf?
- -------------
-
- Golf is a quite simple and also quite popular solitaire card game. The
- starting arrangement has 7 columns of 5 cards each at the top and a face-down
- draw pack and face-up dispose pack at the bottom. The main idea is to get all
- of the cards from the 7 columns to the dispose pack. You can take down the
- bottommost card from a column onto the dispose pack if the card is one higher
- or one lower than the card already face up on the dispose pack. After you
- have taken a card down, then that card becomes the topmost card on the dispose
- pack. The only exception to this rule is that although you can take down a
- king onto a queen, *nothing* can be put onto a king. If there are no cards
- you can get down, you have to take a card from the draw pack and put it
- face up onto the dispose pack. If you run out of cards from the draw pack then
- the game is over.
-
- Note that you cannot loop around the highest and lowest cards. I.e. you cannot
- put a king onto an ace (the lowest card).
-
- Controls
- --------
-
- To take down a card from a column, press the appropriate number key for the
- column. To take a card from the draw pack, just press space. To the left of
- the draw pack is a number that shows how many cards are left in the draw
- pack, and to the right of the dispose pack there is a counter ('Cards left')
- that shows how many cards are left in the columns altogether. Q will quit the
- game and N will start a new game.

- The Author
- ----------
-
- I wrote this game for the HP95LX because I found it to be more addictive
- than the standard solitaire (Klondike) and because it is nicely suited for
- the HP95LX's screen. I hope you find these docs clear enough, as I wrote
- them quite hastily.
-
- I usually don't have any registration fees for any of my programs, but if
- you find this game worth something, I would appreciate any kind of donations.
- Anything goes, but preferably Finnish marks or US$ 8^)
