1sol - X11 solitaire card game
2=============================
3
4Sol is a card game for lonely persons, highly inspired by the game
5bundeled with a well known non-Unix "operating system".
6
7I assume the motive of the game is well known, so I won't go into any
8details here, but rather explain the controls of this particular
9implementation.
10
11To select new cards from the upper left pile, click on the back of the
12pile.  When the pile is empty, click on the outline to turn it.  The
13number of cards to draw may be either one or three, selectable from
14the Options menu.  You may turn the pile as many times you like.
15
16Cards may be moved in a drag--drop fashion.  Click on a card with
17button 1 (normally the left button), drag the card to the destination
18pile, and release the button.  You may drag several cards at once:
19Pointing at a card not at the top of a pile, will move the chosen
20card, and all cards above (or below, depending on how you see it) it.
21
22You may double-click on a card to move it to one of the four upper
23right target piles.  The program will locate the correct pile, if any.
24You may also use button 2 or 3 for the same purpose.
25
26The game features a site-wide highscore file, containing the top 200
27players.  Each user may appear only once in the highscore table.  The
28highscore list is sorted on the time taken to bring the game to a
29solution.  Chose the Highscores menu to bring up a window containing
30the list.  The window is updated every now and then.  If you don't
31want to be part of the race, you may avoid being included in the
32highscore list from the Options menu.
33
34All options are stored in .solrc in your home directory, along with a
35count of games played, and the time used for playing.  The latter two
36may be viewed from the About menu.
