Wii Solitaire offers a unique way to play solitaire with its IR sensor bar integration, providing a fun and intuitive way to move cards on the screen. The game features a clean and straightforward design, making it easy for players to focus on the task at hand. The game is easy to play, but challenging to master, and offers hours of entertainment.
The game features adjustable settings, allowing players to customize the game to their liking. For example, the player can choose to play with or without a draw three option. The game also keeps track of the player's high scores, so they can see their progress over time.
Description
The latest update to the game, version 0.4, is now available to the public. Despite the school year starting and taking up a lot of free time, a number of new features have been added. However, some of these features such as options and scoring are still incomplete. You may see a rough score for Original and Vegas, but the scoring for Vegas solitaire may change in the future. The source code for this version will not be released as it is poorly written and lacks comments.
The game is still fully playable and the added features are expected to be well received by players. Future releases may become less frequent as the focus shifts to fixing bugs and improving the game. Unfortunately, sound will not be implemented at this time due to limitations with the available sound libraries.

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.
Changelog
v0.4
- Scoring and Time Keeping - Scoring right now is, for the most part, useless. However, it is there, albeit mostly incomplete. It will also keep the time you have played the game for.
- Multiple Gametypes - Original Solitaire, Vegas Solitaire, and Free Play are selectable game types. See descriptions above.
- Choosing Dealing Number - You can choose the number of cards that will be dealt out at one time from the Stock now. You may choose either 1 card or 3 card.
- Winning Screen - When you win, a little animation appears and you are called a Winner.
- Deck Dealing Animation - The Stock now "shuffles" before it deals each card out like you would a real solitaire game.
- ROUGH Options - When you start up Wii Solitaire, if you have an SD card, you are asked if you would like to create an options file. Within this options file there are currently six options to choose from. Only three of the options have been completed and may be edited by hand: Deck Dealing Animation, Mouseover Rumble, and 16:9 Video Stretching. 0 = Off, 1 = On. The .ini is located in the same folder as the boot.elf file.
- Playing Tips - When you first use Wii Solitaire and if you created a new settings file you will be greeted with Playing Tips on your first game. These explain the essentials of Solitaire and provide a few tips to successfully complete a game.
v0.3
Major Game-play Changes
- Card-Based Selection - Instead of the cursor having to be over a Tableau card or Foundation card to drop now the held card only has to be touching the Tableau and Foundation cards to be dropped. This really refines the game play making it a lot simpler to control the cards.
- Vertical Card Adjustment - The cards on the Tableau now adjust vertically so that when there are less cards in a column more of each card is visible making identifying the cards much easier.
Minor Changes
- Finished Core Menu - Core menu work is complete.
- GRRLIB 16:9 Support - I made it so that if you are using a 16:9 TV the game will output a stretched 4:3 image to screen. Later on I will make this an option to turn on and off.
- Properly Scaled Cards and New Table - I recreated the cards used and properly scaled the cards for a more accurate looking game. I also replaced the old table background with a much cleaner looking version.
v0.2
- Home Row Ace-Creation Bug Fix - During development of the Menu I discovered a serious bug where one could select the empty home row and force the creation of aces within the game.
- Initial Menu Work - Because of the above fix, I quickly finished implementing the early stages of the menu system. You can now create a new game without having to return to HBC.
v0.1
- Initial Release
- Minor Bug Fix
