Jim,I'm not much of a solitaire person and haven't played much free cell, just enough to do some testing on one persons version of it, and if you have played several and see something missing, and you wish to do it, then go for it, smile.
I was just looking at things from a "what I have seen, and what I could see as desirable" from my viewpoint, as I said the one monopoly game I can find for the blind seems to have an AI that can cheat, I used to play tons of monopoly, and even in three day weekend marathon games, I have never seen one person hit free parking 12 times in one game, but the AI in the one game available to us has, I have sat there and counted it as my lady played the thing *sigh*
anyway, as I said, if you can envision a better free cell, you do what tickles your fancy, especially since it's a project for learning as well as game coding.

Hi Inthane, I thought of Freecell because the versions I have played for blind peopledid not play like the ones from MS. For example, they only let you move onecard at a time and didn't tell you if there were possible moves. Thanks.

I'm just talking about doing it tolearn OO, so I wasn't even thinking of releasing or selling it. I was goingto go through the process of learning to package it up for install though just for the exercise, so I guess releasing would probably be logical.

I think you have enough experience with programming to do it since the couple of partially done VB projects I have seen were "intermediate" level projects. My lady would be very interested in this game I know for a fact, if you would be willing to release the game when your done. HTH, inthane.

Would either of these be a good thing to try? For the approach, I was thinking of writing the first version with a console interface. Then I was going to try to use the code for the objects and learn WXPython to put a different interface onto the project. Is this a good approach? What other advice do you have? Thanks.
