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.
