HOOLA(6) Freecell Solver HOOLA(6)NAME
make-gnome-freecell-board, make-aisleriot-freecell-board,
pi-make-microsoft-freecell-board, make_pysol_freecell_board.py -
Programs to generate boards to be used as input to Freecell Solver.
SYNOPSIS
program [-t] board-number
or for make_pysol_freecell_board.py:
program [-t] [-F] board-number [game-string]
or for make-aisleriot-freecell-board:
program [-t] board-number [game-string]
DESCRIPTION
These programs are command-line programs that can generate the initial
board of the Freecell games of several popular Solitaire
implementations. Those boards can be in turn be inputted to fc-solve by
means of a pipeline, or placed inside a file for safe-keeping.
make_pysol_freecell_board.py and make-aisleriot-freecell-board also
accept an optional third argument which indicates the game type. This
type defaults to Freecell, but is useful for generating the boards of
other games. Note that using this flag does not preclude one from
using the "--game" flag of fc-solve.
make_pysol_freecell_board.py accepts another parameter called -F or
--pysolfc that deals the PySolFC boards instead of the classic PySol
ones.
A common paradigm for using those programs is something like:
bash:~$ pi-make-microsoft-freecell-board 11982 | fc-solve -l gi
If the "-t" option is specified, then the 10 cards are printed with
"T"'s, instead of "10"'s. While this does not have any effect on fc-
solve it may prove useful for other solvers or solitaire
implementations which do not accept "10"'s.
Here is a short description of each program:

the GNOME desktop.
make-aisleriot-freecell-board
