What is PySol ?
===============
Obviously, PySol is a solitaire card game written in 100% pure Python :-)
Why yet another solitaire game ?
================================
Hmm. What do you think about this:
- based upon an extensible solitaire engine
- currently supports 14 different games - expect more to come
- very nice look and feel
- unlimited undo & redo
- load & save games
- player statistics
- hint system
- demo games
- support for user written plug-ins
- integrated HTML help browser
- PySol is portable across X11, Windows 95/98/NT and MacOS
- distributed under the GNU GPL
- full source code available
- written in Python ;-)
Yeah, I know. But what's new ?
==============================
- implemented support for plug-ins
- option to automatically shade legal moves
- added additional cardsets for low and high screen resolutions
Cool. Where can I get it ?
==========================
Point your browser to http://wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at/mfx/pysol.html
Screenshots are available as well.
Also, PySol has been reviewed in the last issue of the Linux Gazette.
See http://www.linuxhq.com/lg/issue33/ayers2.html
What do I need to start playing ?
=================================
PySol requires Python 1.5.1 and Tcl/Tk 8.0.3. Both packages are
freely available for Unix, Windows and Macintosh.
See the PySol homepage for installation instructions.
Have fun,
Markus
