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:

       make-gnome-freecell-board

       the GNOME desktop.

       make-aisleriot-freecell-board

       Generate the Freecell boards of GNOME's AisleRiot.

       make_pysol_freecell_board.py

       PySol.

       pi-make-microsoft-freecell-board

       A program that generates the boards of Microsoft Freecell and of the
       Freecell Pro implementation of Freecell.
