Freecell Solver PySol Integration
Introduction
This is code that enables Freecell Solver integration with PySol, an excellent cross-platform Solitaire Suite written in Python.
Files to Download
| FreecellSolver-0.2.0.tar.gz | Python bindings for Freecell Solver. Can be built as an RPM. Requires Freecell Solver. |
| pysol-4.82-fcs-patch-0.2.0.diff | Patch for PySol 4.82 to enable Freecell Solver integration. PySol will use Freecell Solver only if the Python bindings are installed. |
Instructions
I assume you already have Python, PySol and all of their requisites installed. First, install Freecell Solver. Afterwards compile the Python bindings for it. Afterwards download the PySol source from its homepage, apply the patch, and invoke pysol from that directory.
Notes
The current integration still leaves a lot to be desired. I haven't yet enabled the use of Freecell Solver for Der Katzenschwanz and Die Schlange , as well as all the pseudo-Freecell games like Cruel, Good Measure, or Streets and Alleys. The latter may require translating moves to single-card moves, as Freecell Solver may move the cards one sequence at a time. Plus, Simple Simon cannot work because Freecell Solver also moves non-homogenous sequences as one, so it was not enabled at the moment.
