PYSOLFC(6) PYSOLFC(6) NAME
PySolFC - a collection of more than 1000 solitaire games SYNOPSIS
pysolfc [filename] The only option available is the file name of a saved game. All other options are ignored - PySolFC is fully configurable within the game. DESCRIPTION
PySolFC is a collection of more than 1000 solitaire card games. It stands for PySol Fan Club Edition, as it is a fork of (the now unmain- tained) PySol Solitaire. There are games that use the 52 card International Pattern deck, games for the 78 card Tarock deck, eight and ten suit Ganjifa games, Hana- fuda games, Matrix games, Mahjongg games, and games for an original hexadecimal-based deck. Its features include modern look and feel (uses Ttk widget set), multiple cardsets and tableau backgrounds, sound, unlimited undo, player statistics, a hint system, demo games, a solitaire wizard, support for user written plug-ins, an integrated HTML help browser, and lots of documentation. The integrated help browser can be started by pressin <F1> after the program has launched. PySolFC is written in 100% pure Python and runs out-of-the-box on Unix (X11), Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT/XP and Macintosh platforms. FILES
PySolFC searches its data files in a number of directories including: the current directory /usr/share/games/pysolfc /usr/local/share/games/pysolfc Options are saved in ~/.pysolfc/options.cfg Statistics and logs are saved in ~/.pysolfc/statistics.dat Comments are indexed in ~/.pysolfc/comments.dat Savegames are searched in ~/.pysolfc/savegames/ Additional plugins are searched in ~/.pysolfc/plugins/ Additional cardsets are searched in ~/.pysolfc/cardsets/ Additional table tiles are searched in ~/.pysolfc/tiles/ Additional music songs are searched in ~/.pysolfc/music/ ENVIRONMENT
HOME is used for finding the users home directory. USER and LOGNAME are used for getting the initial name of the player. Additional cardsets are searched according to the path variable PYSOL_CARDSETS. You can specify multiple directories. Additional table tiles are searched according to the path variable PYSOL_TILES. You can specify multiple directories. Additional music songs are searched according to the path variable PYSOL_MUSIC. You can specify multiple directories. DIAGNOSTICS

HOOLA(6) board_gen HOOLA(6) NAME
make-gnome-freecell-board, make-aisleriot-freecell-board, make-microsoft-freecell-board, make-pysol-freecell-board - Programs to generate boards to be used as input to Freecell Solver. SYNOPSIS
program [-t] board-number or for make-pysol-freecell-board: program [-t] [-F] board-number [game-string] or for make-aisleriot-freecell-board: program [-t] board-number [game-string] DESCRIPTION
These programs are command-line programs that can generate the initial board of the Freecell games of several popular Solitaire implementations. Those boards can be in turn be inputted to fc-solve by means of a pipeline, or placed inside a file for safe-keeping. make-pysol-freecell-board and make-aisleriot-freecell-board also accept an optional third argument which indicates the game type. This type defaults to Freecell, but is useful for generating the boards of other games. Note that using this flag does not preclude one from using the "--game" flag of fc-solve. make_pysol_freecell_board.py accepts another parameter called -F or --pysolfc that deals the PySolFC boards instead of the classic PySol ones. A common paradigm for using those programs is something like: bash:~$ make-microsoft-freecell-board 11982 | fc-solve -l gi If the "-t" option is specified, then the 10 cards are printed with "T"'s, instead of "10"'s. While this does not have any effect on fc- solve it may prove useful for other solvers or solitaire implementations which do not accept "10"'s. Here is a short description of each program: make-gnome-freecell-board Generate the boards of the standalone Freecell program that comes with the GNOME desktop. make-aisleriot-freecell-board Generate the Freecell boards of GNOME's AisleRiot. make-pysol-freecell-board A Python script that generates the boards of the various games of PySol. make-microsoft-freecell-board A program that generates the boards of Microsoft Freecell and of the Freecell Pro implementation of Freecell.
