Poker Solitaire 1.10
Copyright (c) 1989 -- Roger Smith
Poker Solitaire is a simple card game. The computer
deals one card at a time. You place the card somewhere
in a 5x5 matrix. When choosing a spot for the card
remember that you are trying to form the 12 (5 rows, 5
columns, 2 diagonals) best poker hands.
The score for each hand is:
Royal Flush 500
Straight Flush 300
Four of a Kind 160
Straight 120
Full House 100
Three of a Kind 60
Flush 50
Two Pair 30
Pair 10
Begin the game by selecting 'New Game' from the 'Play'
menu. The pointer will become the current card. Move
the pointer with the arrow keys or mouse to the desired
position and press the mouse button or the return key to
drop the card.
Press the space bar or select 'Hint' from the Main Menu
to have the computer suggest a good spot for the current
card.
Each time a hand is filled, the current score is updated.
After all 25 cards have been dealt, the pointer changes
back to an arrow. Choose 'New Game' to play again or
select 'Computer Play' from the 'Play' menu to let the
computer play with the same cards you were just dealt.
The computer takes over the pointer for a brief time as
it plays the game. The displayed high score is not
changed if the computer is able to beat your highest
score.
Select 'Exit Poker' under the 'Exit' menu to end the
program.
