#xsol — Public Fediverse posts

It's time for another #archaic #x11 program. This time, it's a game: #xsol (X Solitaire).

Originally written by Brian Masney, in 1998.

This is a card game (which in Britain is called 'Patience'; solitaire is the peg-based game) involving placing cards into their respective suits, in ascending order, whereby ace is considered low.

#xsol uses #motif as its widget set.

A static version of this is available (https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/X11/games/xsol-0.31.static-linux-x86.tgz)

Version 0.1 was also entered into the #lsm (https://xteddy.org/lsm/) -- 1998-08-14.

The static version is at version 0.31, and dates to 1998-10-12, so that's only a few months newer -- the last #LSM entry appears out of date, alas.

Here it is in all its glory though!

I think I might even be winning!

If people are finding this sort of thing interesting, I'll happily take requests! :P

#xsol is a simple klondike #solitaire #game for the X windowing system.

xsol is very lightweight and to the point, implementing only the necessary features of a solitaire game.
