Last week I posted my version of FreeCell GS to comp.binaries.apple2
and uploaded it to Ground. This is a late-beta release, but is
fully playable and stable. It is lacking many error messages, but
if you are running it from a hard drive, you won't miss them. If
you find any bugs, or if something doesn't behave intuitively, please
post a message or e-mail me.
So far, the following bugs have been corrected for the next release:
- Choosing "Save As..." wasn't asking the user for a filename.
(The file was automatically called SolSavedGame.)
- Non-last cards that were hilighted from an apple-click did not
have their full height hilighted.
I have also had the following features suggested:
- Automatically make use of empty columns to increase the number
of cards that can be used (a la Windows version)
- Automatically add cards to their appropriate stack when they
become available (again, like Windows version)
The next release will probably be bug-fixes only, but I would still
like to hear feature requests.
Thanks, and enjoy!
