Version 4 of Freecell

Updated 2007-11-26 22:31:49 by MG

MG Nov 26 2007 - Quite some time ago, I wrote a copy of Freecell, one of the card games shipped with Windows XP (and other versions, I think) with a friend of mine. I've finally gotten around to uploading the code, which you can find on my website (http://www.talvo.com/tcl-code.php ) as it's rather large for a wiki page.

It's pretty similar to the Windows version, though is definitely missing at least one feature: when you move cards, it always moves the most it can, rather than giving you the choice between moving a single card/the column.

The friend I wrote it with is also multi-lingual, so it runs in four different languages, using msgcat.

Comments, criticisms, suggestions for improvement, etc, welcome as ever.


IDG Nov 26 2007 - Nice - unlike the version that comes with Suse Linux which is unplayable. However SystemButtonFace is an unknown colour under Linux, so I had to change this before statistics would display.

MG Thanks; I'd only tried it on Windows. I've updated that now to use

  $toplevel cget -background

to get the correct background colour, which should work on all platforms, I think.
