🌸 hey bestie, welcome to PYSOLFC(6) 🌸

okay so this is the manual page for PySolFC, and it lives in section 6 of the manual (the games one, iykyk). it's giving "card games but make it a whole lifestyle" and honestly? obsessed. let's get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

PySolFC — a collection of more than 1200 solitaire games 🃏✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pysol.py [OPTION]... [FILE]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

PySolFC is a collection of more than 1200 solitaire card games. the name stands for PySol Fan Club Edition, because it's a fork of the (now unmaintained 😭) PySol Solitaire. rip to a legend fr fr.

and the deck diversity?? iconic. there are games that use:

  • the 52 card International Pattern deck
  • the 78 card Tarock deck
  • eight and ten suit Ganjifa games
  • Hanafuda games
  • Matrix games
  • Mahjongg games
  • and games for an original hexadecimal-based deck 💀 (she's quirky like that)

its features include:

  • modern look and feel (uses the Ttk widget set) ✨
  • multiple cardsets and tableau backgrounds
  • sound
  • unlimited undo (the way that's the single most important feature, no cap)
  • player statistics
  • a hint system
  • demo games
  • a solitaire wizard
  • support for user written plug-ins
  • an integrated HTML help browser
  • and lots of documentation 📚

you can start the integrated help browser by pressing <F1> once the program has launched. cute, right? 🎀

PySolFC is written in 100% pure Python and runs out-of-the-box on Unix (X11), MS Windows and Mac OS X platforms. cross-platform queen 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

available options, bestie — here's the whole lineup:

  • -g, --game=GAMENAME — start game GAMENAME (Klondike, etc.) 🃏
  • -i, --gameid=GAMEID — the manpage is keeping this one mysterious ngl, there's literally no description attached to it. it exists, it's real, that's all we know 💀
  • --french-only — same situation, no description in the original. no cap, it's just sitting there being enigmatic 🙈
  • --sound-mod=MOD — MOD is the sound mode, and it has to be one of these: pss (pysol sound server), pygame (default), oss (open sound system), win (MS Windows) 🔊
  • --nosound — disable sound support 🔇
  • --noplugins — disable load plugins
  • -h, --help — display help message and exit 🫶
  • FILE — optional file name of a saved game 💾
