Release XM Solitaire

ptitSeb · Jan 13, 2013

Here, you can find a Card Game. It is a not well represented category on the Pandora, and on Linux world, so I'v dig on the Windows world to find a free & configurable nice Solitiare.

There are plenty on options to configure.

Of course, Screen is a little small for all those cards, but it work nicely.

Build 02 works now, you can update if ou downloaded Build 01

Build History

===========

Build 02

-----------

Reviews all Wine and Linux module used by XMSol (to reduce size of the PND)
Corrected the way the app is launched

Build 01

-----------

Initial release.

Known problem: The Help doesn't work. It uses some CHM file (Compressed HTML), wich doesn't work yet on ARM wine.

Note that there is a Profile Handling. Go to File|Change player adn you can creat a profile (even if the dialog is "Open"). Go in the home/ folder to avoid R/O problem with PND.

PS: Sorry for the size, but the Wine RunTime has to be embeded in the PND.

Oh

Ok, I add the missing ntoskrnl file and repackage. And thanks for the log, it's really helpfull

*EDIT*, well, I test the PND with Codeblock still mounted, so I miss many dependencies... Doing a "sudo ldconfig" unmount all the libs that comes with Code::Blocks PND, and I see that I missed more than one file...

Linux-SWAT · Jan 13, 2013

Does this solitaire supports multiplayer ?

Nope, single player solitaire only. No network or hot sit game mode.

Linux-SWAT · Jan 13, 2013

^^

Was a joke !

So is there multiplayer solitaires :wacko: ?

ptitSeb · Jan 13, 2013

I think there are some kind of Solitaire, that can be multiplayer... "Heart" ircc is multiplayer... Of course, One could argue it's not a solitaire...

ptitSeb · Jan 14, 2013

This is more complicated than I first though.

I have added all wine, but it still won't start. It starts only if codeblocks as done his ldconfig

The means I so file is mounted dynamicaly, using ldconfig cache, but I can't figure out wich one (some libX I guess), nor where to put libs so they are loaded by wine. This is driving me crazy, it works, but it doesn't.

Neelix · Jan 14, 2013

Out of interest, did you know that sebt3's port of gnome games, contains AisleRiot solitaire?

http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=gnomeGames-13425

Though that said it shows up in the games menu as Freecell for some reason, and has Klondike misnamed as canfield which it loads by default.

Solstar · Jan 14, 2013

i'd pay platinum bars to have an app that easiyl convert win app to pandora using winelib...

ptitSeb · Jan 14, 2013

ptitSeb · Jan 14, 2013

yoshi41dragon · Jan 14, 2013

It's working now. Nice Solitaire with many options. Thanks.

PowerGod · Jan 14, 2013

Cool, thanks !!

By the way, I'm lost in all those games, how it is called the original Windows solitaire ?

I can't find it and It's the only one I know how to play...

ptitSeb · Jan 14, 2013

I think it is called Arachnid (I have to check on the Pandora, can't right now).

But Freecell should also be familiar.

b_o_b · Jan 14, 2013

Haven't tried the game yet, but the regular Solitair could also be called Klondike.

yoshi41dragon · Jan 14, 2013

The closest to Windows Solitaire is Klondike. But this version is restricted to 2 re-deals of the stock.

"rules\standard.xml" seems to be the configuration file. I tried to add a new block with infinite re-deals.

<game name="Klondike Free">
<foundation x="500" repeat="4"/>
<tableau repeat="7" shape="incr" count="28" hide="-1">k group alter</tableau>
<stock redeal="inf"/><waste x="120"/>
</game>
Unfortunately, I can't recreate the .pnd with PND Tools on Windows, since 2 file names are invalid (for Windows).

Code:

C:\emu\etc\pndtools\temp2\.wine\dosdevices>attrib
   S         C:\emu\etc\pndtools\temp2\.wine\dosdevices\c?
   S         C:\emu\etc\pndtools\temp2\.wine\dosdevices\z?

C:\emu\etc\pndtools\temp2\.wine\dosdevices>

ptitSeb, can you please try that, to see if new games can be added this way?
Would be nice to have a Windows-like Solitaire.

ptitSeb · Jan 14, 2013

Ok, no problems, I'll do that.

I confirm you won't be abble to create the PND on windows, I used softlink for this one.

What I will do is move the xml to a created folder (so outside the PND), so you will have R/W and can alter/add games at will.

While I'am at it. There are plenty of configurables things, like card decks, background, etc..; All are in the PND, so are R/O if the PND is on a FAT32 (I assume many people, my incuded, are on this configuration). I can also move thoses folder outside the PND, but it is a waste of space (as there is one copy in the PND, and another copy in the appdata).

So, question, do you think other folders should be "externalized" ?

Neelix · Jan 14, 2013

There's actually no need to specifically repack the PND just to override one of the files, just drop the modified file in the relevant folder in appdata. Anything in stored in appdata will override the equivalent file in the PND.

Using a FAT32 card doesn't prevent this feature from being used, it just prevents it being done through the overlay if the folder exists in the PND but doesn't already exist in appdata. (or if the pathname is FAT32 invalid, but since those two 'files' should both be symlinks I don't see that as an issue here)

So, Yoshi, you should just drop your modified standard.xml files in the appdata/xmsol/rules/ folder, launch xmsol and you should have your new Klondike Free solitaire.
