*****************************************************************
This Poker Solitaire game is based on a grid of 25 cards
(5 Squared). Five cards are placed face down on the grid, and twenty
cards are given to you. You will try to build the best poker hands
possible horizontally and vertically. The gray block will move when
the arrow keys are pressed. The number pad can also be used if Num
Lock is off, keys 1, 3, 7 and 9 can be used to move diagonally. When
the Gray block is at the location where you want to place the card
press the Enter/Return key. The twist in this game is that you do
not know the value or the suit of the face down cards. When you get
a pair, in any column or row you will be able to choose which face
down card you want to flip over.
For example ( see Figure 1 )
1.) A two of hearts is placed at A1. A two of spades is placed at A2.
The program will signal you, and allow you to choose which face
down card you want to flip over.
2.) A six of diamonds is placed at A3. A six of spades is placed at
E3. The program will signal you, and allow you to choose which
face down card you want to flip over. When you are able to flip
over a card the block will change colors and a "F" will be in the
center of it.
The following conditions will allow you to flip over a card:
1. A pair allows you to flip over one card.
2. Two pairs allow you to flip over one card.
3. Three of a kind allows you to flip over two cards.
4. Four of a kind allows you to flip over one card.
5. The player flips over a card that creates a pair in any
column or row. After all five of the face down cards have
been flipped over continue to place the remaining cards in
the best possible position.
