Klondike Version 1.1 for Pilot
Copyright (c) 1996  Bill Kirby


Revision History:

-- 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 it
doesn't get backed up every time you hotsync.  Otherwise, it is
identical 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 screen

Fixed 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 everyone
knows how to play.  It's a preliminary version, but
it is playable.  Let me know what you think of it so
far.
