The objective of the game, for those that are not familiar with solitaire, is to get the four suits built onto the foundations from aces up through kings. To do this you must place alternating colored cards, from kings down to aces, on top of each-other by moving them within the Tableau and drawing cards from the Stock.

School is starting tomorrow and I expect a lot of my free time shall be inhumanely stolen from me. As such, I decided to release this feature-incomplete version to the public. I added quite a number of new features, though sadly at least a third of them are incomplete such as the options and scoring. You may see a rough score on Original and Vegas, however the scoring will be different for Vegas solitaire in the future. I am not releasing the source for this version because it is quite ugly and is lacking of comments. The game, however, is still completely playable and I hope the features I added pleases everyone. The releases from this point will probably get a little more distant, and I hope to only need to release at least one more pre-1.0 version before I can just start fixing bugs people find. Also, sound. It will not be implimented at this point in time because the sound libraries available are quite poor. sndlib seems nice, but the way it was released is just absolutely terrible. As such, it has been removed as a future feature.
'''Known Problems'''
* Score is, for the most part, useless.
* Highscore and Options are selectable but non-functioning. I was too lazy to go through and make them non-functional again.
* Original is spelled incorrect in pretty much every location. (Kept spelling wrong in this page to remain consistent). Woops.
* Your mouse cursor MUST be over the home row when dropping Kings.
