Spider

This is more or less a clone of the old Spider game that comes along with most Linux distributions and is also part of XPAT2. However, I like the idea of playing it with fewer than all four suits. In this version you can freely choose with how many different suits you want to play. Restricting them is far less frustrating than playing with all four of them :-)

Please note that the cards are not automatically moved to the stack when you put all 12 of them in a row. Only a click with the right mouse button does it.

The help isn't very intuitive, but it works. Something like this is shown permanently below the cards:
"< B> -> Ea" i.e. "I am row B and I fit into row E (rank and suit) or into row a (rank only)"

It is possible to save and/or load games, even to view an animation of a successful one. If you think that it is impossible to solve a spider game, here are two sets of cards that prove the opposite: a game with two suits and one with three suits. Just load them and replay them using the "File" menu.

The source code of FoxCards contains also Hearts as well as Klondike and README for hints on compiling the program. Here is a zip-ed Windows Binary

In the precompiled programs the Fox support is statically compiled in (i.e. there is no need to get the FOXlib). Foxspider can be freely distributed under the terms of the Gnu General Public License.

A note on FoxKlondike: To move cards out out, you need to klick them with the right mouse button. Otherwise I hope the game is well known
