7. Board Auto-Generators

• A short time after the release of Freecell Solver 0.2.0, Eric Warmenhoven sent me a program he prepared to generate the initial boards of GNOME Freecell so they can later be inputted into Freecell Solver.
• I thanked him for his effort, and decided to continue the theme.
• So I wrote similar programs to generate the board layouts of GNOME AisleRiot, PySol, and the Microsoft Freecell/Freecell Pro deals (the latter are considered the standard among hard-core Freecell enthusiasts).
• Some programs have integrated the Freecell Solver library to allow for automatically solving a board starting at a position that the player has reached.
