NAME

6       pi-make-microsoft-freecell-board, make_pysol_freecell_board.py -
7       Programs to generate boards to be used as input to Freecell Solver.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       pi-make-microsoft-freecell-board [-t] board-number
11
12       or for make_pysol_freecell_board.py:
13
14       make_pysol_freecell_board.py [-t] [-F] [--ms] board-number [game-
15       string]
16

DESCRIPTION

18       These programs are command-line programs that can generate the initial
19       board of the games of several popular Solitaire implementations. Those
20       boards can be in turn be input to fc-solve by means of a pipeline, or
21       placed inside a file for safe-keeping.
22
23       make_pysol_freecell_board.py also accepts an optional third argument
24       which indicates the game variants. This type defaults to Freecell, but
25       is useful for generating the boards of other games. Note that using
26       this flag still requires one to use the "--game" flag of fc-solve, if
27       necessary.
28
29       make_pysol_freecell_board.py also accepts a flag called -F or --pysolfc
30       that deals the PySolFC boards instead of the classic PySol ones, and
31       one called --ms or -M that deals Microsoft Freecell/Freecell Pro deals
32       even for higher seeds.
33
34       A common paradigm for using those programs is something like:
35
36           bash:~$ pi-make-microsoft-freecell-board -t 11982 | fc-solve -l gi
37
38       If the "-t" option is specified, then the 10 cards are printed with
39       "T"'s, instead of "10"'s. While fc-solve can accept either as input, it
40       may prove useful for other solvers or solitaire implementations which
41       do not accept "10"'s.
42
43       Here is a short description of each program:
44
45       make_pysol_freecell_board.py
46
47       A Python script that generates the boards of the various games of
48       PySol.
49

51
52       A program that generates the boards of Microsoft Freecell and of the
53       Freecell Pro implementation of Freecell.
