Klondike Version 1.3 for PilotCopyright (c) 1996,97 Bill KirbyRevision History:-- Version 1.3 --
New Features: - Added graffiti strokes for undo (backspace) and
autoplay (space).
Fixed bugs: - Using undo on moves that were made with the autoplay
feature would sometimes corrupt the game, causing the
following problems:
- fatal reset
- face-down cards would appear in ace piles
- cards would disappear from the deck, making it
impossible to win
- Using autoplay to move all the visible cards in the
discard pile would leave the discard pile empty even
if there were more cards underneath.
- If certain cases, options might not correctly be
changed when exiting from the preferences dialog.
- Menu wouldn't work during the 'congrats' animation
after a game was won.
- Quitting and restarting Klondike would not end the
'congrats' animation.
- After winning a game, vegas score would be drawn in
large font.
- After resetting statistics, the vegas rules total
would sometimes not display properly until you quit
and re-opened the statistics dialog.
Known bugs: - With the deck at the bottom of the screen, long columns
of cards will overwrite the deck and discard area, leaving
garbage behind on the screen.
-- Version 1.2 --New Features: - Vegas Rules now includes a score. You start at -$52, and receive $5 for each card moved to the ace piles. - Statistics now include win/lose streaks. - Statistics include the total amount of money won/lost playing with the vegas rules option. - Statistics can be reset. - User specifiable shuffle. You can set the number of times the deck is shuffled before each game.Fixed bugs: - Blank screen when you launch Klondike from PAL, Launcher, or AppHack. - In tap mode, if you tried to undo while there were cards selected, the selected cards would disappear. - In tap mode, if you had any cards selected when you switched to another app, Klondike would start a new game the next time you launched, instead of contining the old game. - 'too many invalid regions' error when a game is won. - in certain situations, after selecting 'undo', the number of cards shown in the discard pile would be incorrect. - the bottom 2 pixels of each card column were not being erased, causing card remnants to be left on the screen when a large column was moved.Known bugs not fixed in this version: - drawing problems when the deck position is set to the bottom of the screen. This turned out to be somewhat difficult to fix given the existing way I'm doing screen drawing. I'll fix it in the next version. - if you open the menu while the 'congratulations' animation is running, the graphics draw inside the menu. -- Version 1.1 --New Features: - UNDO! Undo the last move by pressing the page-down button. Registered version allows you to undo the last 100 moves. Unregistered version will only undo the last move. - Vegas rules.Fixed bugs: - restrictions on # of passes through deck is now an option (vegas rules) - The "two of diamonds bug" is fixed.-- Version 1.0 --New features: - Cool graphics when you win. Ok, they're not really all that cool, but they're better than nothing. :) - Page-up key moves as many cards as possible to the ace piles. Very handy for finishing off a game that you've won. - Optimized drawing code, to (hopefully) help with the battery drain problem. - Statistics: # of games won/lost is recorded. - Splash screen (which can be turned off in the registered version)Fixed bugs: - Drawing one at a time now correctly restricts you to one pass through the deck. - Switching between draw one/draw three will now force a new game. - Discard pile never shows more than one card when in 'draw one' mode. - Annoying text at the bottom of the screen was replaced with an annoying splash screen. - Fixed a bug in tap mode that may have been causing excess battery drain-- Version 0.91 --This version just removes the backup bit from the .PRC file, so itdoesn't get backed up every time you hotsync. Otherwise, it isidentical to 0.9-- Version 0.9 --New features: - Added "tap mode" to allow playing game without dragging cards around. This helps reduce battery drain, as well as prolonging the writing surface. - Configurable game layout. Move the deck to any corner of the screenFixed bugs: - "Frozen stack" problem. - clicking on an empty column would cause strange behavior later in the game (duplicate cards, frozen ace-pile)Known bugs: - battery drain problem. I'm optimizing the drawing routines to help reduce the battery usage. These improvements will be in version 1.0. Until then, the "tap mode" should require much less power, since it is not constantly drawing to the screen. - I didn't get around to fixing any of the known bugs listed below in version 0.8. They are all fairly cosmetic, and will be fixed in version 1.0-- Version 0.8 --New features: - larger font used for rank. - preferences now work, allowing you to choose between drawing one or three cards. - preferences allow setting a larger bitmap to be used for the suit (on cards that are not covered by another card)Fixed bugs: - hideous cross-hatch pattern removed from ace piles. - cards no longer disappear when dropping onto large stacks. - double clicking on a card in the discard pile will now move it to the ace pile. - attempting to drag from an empty ace pile no longer results in a face-down card being dragged.Known bugs: - draw one mode allows you to go through deck as many times as you want, instead of stopping after one time. - can switch between draw one and draw three in the middle of a game. - when in 'draw one' mode, if you drag a card off the discard pile and then let it go (so that it goes back to the discard pile), it will not cover up the top card. Instead it will be next to the top card (as if you were playing in draw three mode). - the text at the bottom of the screen will start to disappear if you have stacks of cards larger than ten.-- Version 0.7 --New features: - Double-clicking cards will automatically move them to an ace pile if possible. - state is now saved, so you can switch apps and come back to the game later. - New Game menu option works.Fixed bugs: - a bug that allowed you to drop a multi-card stack on to an ace pile (if the bottom card on the stack could be legally placed there)-- Version 0.6 --Fixed a shuffling bug that caused duplicate cards.-- Version 0.5 -- This is the basic game of Solitaire that everyoneknows how to play. It's a preliminary version, butit is playable. Let me know what you think of it sofar. --Bill Kirbybkirby@electronhut.comhttp://www.electronhut.com/pilot/
