Features
Save a game - The current game can
be saved so that it will be possible to open and resume it at
any later time.
Print a game - The play area of the
current game can be printed.
Select a solitaire - A solitaire can
be selected in many different ways, the most comprehensive of
which offers a complete panorama of all solitaires. Both the
typical layout of each solitaire at game start and the comments
about the solitaire can be visualized. All the solitaire's
features are shown as well.
Comments - Comments about solitaires
can be added, edited or deleted at will. A tool bar provides
commands for text formatting and automatic insertion of data
such as the current player's name, the current game number, the
date and the time.
Select a game - To each game is
unambiguously related a game number, and vice versa. Each game
number identifies a specific shuffle and thus uniquely
determines a specific order of the cards. Solitaires can
generate a million billion different shuffles for each
solitaire, numbered from 1 to 999,999,999,999,999. Any of these
game numbers can be selected.
Game history - The current game
history can be shown move by move. A tool bar provides commands
to play the history back and forth.
Game demo - The current game demo
can be shown move by move as well. A tool bar provides commands
to play the demo.
Hint move - At any stage of a game,
Solitaires can suggest a move by highlighting the
appropriate layout part(s).
Players - Players can be added,
renamed or deleted. This allows games of any solitaire to be
played in a competitive way.
Statistics - Solitaires
uses statistical analysis in many different ways and can show
statistics relating to played games (game statistics), to
players (player statistics) and to score progress
(performances). In addition, it keeps track of all played games
(games log), of highest scores (highest scores) and of average
scores (global score). Game statistics, player statistics and
performances feature attractive graphs.
Card counter - The card counter is a
small window that keeps track of all the cards in the tableau
and in the stock, showing which cards are face up and which are
face down. The card counter is updated at every move.
Full screen mode - Games can be
played in full screen mode. This feature may be handy when
playing solitaires requiring a large play area.
Card size - The card size can be
automatically adapted to the current solitaire and to the
current screen resolution. Alternatively, large, medium or
small cards can be used regardless of the current solitaire and
of the current screen resolution. In conjunction with the
automatic scrolling feature, this greatly enhances flexibility
and playability.
Autoplay - Solitaires can
automatically shift cards to the foundations every time such a
shift is possible. Autoplay may be very handy and its use is
highly recommended.
Options - Solitaires can be
thoroughly personalized by means of a wide range of options,
covering topics such as general features, bars, backgrounds,
decks, cards, animation, sound and music. Solitaires
includes 40 background images, 39 card backs, 8 card sets, 20
sounds and 20 songs. More images and more songs can be
imported.
Music support - Solitaires
fully supports MIDI, MP3 and WAV songs as background music, and
features a play list that can be totally customized. The twenty
included songs provide more than four hours of high quality
music.
Screen resolution and color depth - While
exploiting all the features of Solitaires requires a
high resolution screen with true color, standard (800 x 600
pixels) screens with high color are fully supported.
Furthermore, even in this regard a high level of
personalization can be achieved thanks to many sophisticated
functions as automatic resizing, automatic scrolling and more.
