- Klondike Version 1.1 for Pilot
- Copyright (c) 1996 Bill Kirby
-
-
- Revision History:
-
- -- Version 1.1 --
-
- New Features: - UNDO! Undo the last move by pressing the page-down
- button. Registered version allows you to undo the
- last 100 moves. Unregistered version will only undo
- the last move.
- - Vegas rules.
-
- Fixed bugs: - restrictions on # of passes through deck is now an
- option (vegas rules)
- - The "two of diamonds bug" is fixed.
-
-
- -- Version 1.0 --
-
- New features: - Cool graphics when you win. Ok, they're not really
- all that cool, but they're better than nothing. :)
- - Page-up key moves as many cards as possible to the
- ace piles. Very handy for finishing off a game that
- you've won.
- - Optimized drawing code, to (hopefully) help with the
- battery drain problem.
- - Statistics: # of games won/lost is recorded.
- - Splash screen (which can be turned off in the registered
- version)
-
- Fixed bugs: - Drawing one at a time now correctly restricts you to
- one pass through the deck.
- - Switching between draw one/draw three will now force a
- new game.
- - Discard pile never shows more than one card when in
- 'draw one' mode.
- - Annoying text at the bottom of the screen was replaced
- with an annoying splash screen.
- - Fixed a bug in tap mode that may have been causing
- excess battery drain
-
-
- -- Version 0.91 --
-
- This version just removes the backup bit from the .PRC file, so it
- doesn't get backed up every time you hotsync. Otherwise, it is
- identical to 0.9
-
-
- -- Version 0.9 --
-
- New features: - Added "tap mode" to allow playing game without dragging
- cards around. This helps reduce battery drain, as well
- as prolonging the writing surface.
- - Configurable game layout. Move the deck to any corner
- of the screen
-
- Fixed bugs: - "Frozen stack" problem.
- - clicking on an empty column would cause strange behavior
- later in the game (duplicate cards, frozen ace-pile)
-
- Known bugs: - battery drain problem. I'm optimizing the drawing
- routines to help reduce the battery usage. These
- improvements will be in version 1.0. Until then, the
- "tap mode" should require much less power, since it is
- not constantly drawing to the screen.
- - I didn't get around to fixing any of the known bugs
- listed below in version 0.8. They are all fairly
- cosmetic, and will be fixed in version 1.0
-
- -- Version 0.8 --
-
- New features: - larger font used for rank.
- - preferences now work, allowing you to choose between
- drawing one or three cards.
- - preferences allow setting a larger bitmap to be used
- for the suit (on cards that are not covered by another
- card)
-
- Fixed bugs: - hideous cross-hatch pattern removed from ace piles.
- - cards no longer disappear when dropping onto large
- stacks.
- - double clicking on a card in the discard pile will
- now move it to the ace pile.
- - attempting to drag from an empty ace pile no longer
- results in a face-down card being dragged.
-
- Known bugs: - draw one mode allows you to go through deck as many
- times as you want, instead of stopping after one time.
- - can switch between draw one and draw three in the
- middle of a game.
- - when in 'draw one' mode, if you drag a card off the
- discard pile and then let it go (so that it goes
- back to the discard pile), it will not cover up the
- top card. Instead it will be next to the top card
- (as if you were playing in draw three mode).
- - the text at the bottom of the screen will start to
- disappear if you have stacks of cards larger than
- ten.
-
- -- Version 0.7 --
-
- New features: - Double-clicking cards will automatically move them
- to an ace pile if possible.
- - state is now saved, so you can switch apps and come
- back to the game later.
- - New Game menu option works.
-
- Fixed bugs: - a bug that allowed you to drop a multi-card stack on
- to an ace pile (if the bottom card on the stack could
- be legally placed there)
-
- -- Version 0.6 --
-
- Fixed a shuffling bug that caused duplicate cards.
-
-
- -- Version 0.5 --
-
- This is the basic game of Solitaire that everyone
- knows how to play. It's a preliminary version, but
- it is playable. Let me know what you think of it so
- far.
