Trying Single-Card Solitaire in 0.7c - what a concept! - but its implementation is problematic. The red coloration of cards seems inaccurate more often than not once anything has moved, though it doesn't allow any rulebreaking or preventing anything legal as far as I can tell. What IS a thorn in my side is the limit of the non-resizable window! The strategy I often seem to need is compelling me to grow an individual stack especially tall. I can keep adding cards to a stack even after it goes off the bottom of the window, but I can't pick those cards back up again. (I can grab a whole stack from a visible portion when appropriate, but can't then use those lower cards unless I can set them down on another shorter stack for a moment, which isn't always possible or prevents the move I need to make.) Surely I wouldn't be expected to keep track of when a stack is exactly 31 groups tall and emulate this behavior when playing with physical cards, so I'm sure this counts as a bug. Some way to scroll down (or resize the window) seems necessary to me.
Thanks for the feedback! I wonder if reducing the offset between cards when the stack gets high enough would help - it'd make the cards lower in the stack harder to read but would be a bit more elegant than a scrollbar.
Could you give an example of a situation where the red colour breaks?
I mean, it's extremely common - it's hard to have it NOT happen in my experience - but sure, this is just a few seconds and a few moves in on a deal. The left and right stacks are both miscolored, as you can see (just the bottom group of the left, which should be red, and the bottom eleven(!) of the right, which are all legally stacked and moveable and in fact can go with the next two groups above them, so should not be red).
Hmm, interesting! It worked (I think!) previously, but I did some quick changes to it yesterday and probably broke it in ways that I didn't anticipate. The joys of testing a change only too little before assuming it works, apologies.
Not a problem, it's not like I paid for this (though I would have), I just thought you'd really like to know. With some more examination, it seems picking a stack up and putting it right back where it came from almost always screws up the coloring, if that helps nail down the issue.
