This is a minimal C++ implementation of the classic Klondike solitaire. I got tired of ad-infested solitaires...

See the right-hand column in the github repo for a link to the release, currently just a Windows installer. I may make a Linux AppImage later. I don't intend to expand or really even maintain this program, so 1.0 will probably be around a long time. If you want it to do something different, clone the repo and have at it.

When the program is run, it starts with an empty table, only the four suit stacks. Press one of the New Game buttons at the top-left to deal a new game. You'll accumulate wins and losses as long as you deal the same draw-type; dealing a different draw-type will reset the wins and losses accumulators.

Losses are incremented each time you deal a new game of the same type as the previous game.

Wins are incremented each time the suit stacks are fully populated. That means, even if you've uncovered all the cards and know you won, you still have to move all the cards to the suit stacks to get credit. Also, when the last card is moved to the suit stacks, the game will start a simple animation, cards jumping out of their stacks and falling into oblivion. You can stop that at any time by dealing a new game.

Note: There's still a race condition in the double-click handling that will occasionally throw an exception. If this occurs, just click Ignore and go on with the game. I may yet fix that, but I'm losing interest... :)

0. Prerequisite: wxWidgets, compiled somewhere so it can be referenced with the wx-config script. I haven't tested with the distro -dev packages, but that might also work.

1. Clone the github repo:

   $ git clone https://github.com/butcherg/solitaire.git

2. Run autoconf in the top-level repo directory:

   $ autoconf

3. Make a build directory and cd into it:

   $ mkdir build-linux $ cd build-linux

4. Run configure from the repo directory, specifying the location of wxWidgets with --with-wx-config:

   $ ../configure --with-wx-config=$(HOME)/wxWidgets-3.1.4/build-linux/wx-config

Cross-compilation can be used by specifying the cross-compiler prefix in --host. This example specifies the mxe win64 cross-compiler:

$ ../configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32.static --with-wx-config=$(HOME)/wxWidgets-3.1.4/build-win64/wx-config

5. make the program:

   $ make
