💖 Games::Solitaire::Verify::Foundations 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, filed under the manual name Games:...dations(3pm). Yes the name is truncated, yes it's giving cryptic, no we are not fixing it, that's just how the shelf label looks. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Games::Solitaire::Verify::Foundations — a whole class for representing the foundations (aka the home-cells, aka the little piles where you're trying to yeet every card so you win 🏆) in a Solitaire game.

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.2601

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Games::Solitaire::Verify::Foundations;

# For internal use.

that's it. that's the synopsis. it's short but she's iconic. 💅 (also yes, it literally says For internal use — this class is not here to be your main character, it's here to do the job.)

---

👑 METHODS 👑

💜 $self->value($suit, $index)

hands you back the card sitting in the foundation for $suit at the index $index. 🃏

💜 $self->assign($suit, $index, $rank)

sets the value of the foundation with the suit $suit and the index $index to $rank. done, slotted, no notes. ✨

💜 $self->increment($suit, $index)

increments the value of the foundation with the suit $suit and the index $index to $rank.

ngl bestie, this one is a little mysterious — it talks about $rank but $rank isn't in the argument list. I'm just telling you exactly what the page says, fr fr. 🙈

💜 $self->to_string()

stringifies the freecells into the Freecell Solver solution display notation. so like, the glow-up from object to text. 💖

💜 $board->clone()

returns a clone of the freecells, with all of their cards duplicated. a little copy-paste moment, but make it legal. 🧚
