🌸 NAME 🌸

transpose-freecell-board.py — transposes a Freecell/etc. layout, moving it from play-stacks-in-text-columns over to play-stacks-in-text-lines. that's it, that's the whole glow-up 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

transpose-freecell-board.py -o output_fn input_fn | -

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so this program transposes a Freecell/etc. layout. no cap. it takes your board and flips the whole vibe from columns to lines.

here's a sample input, look at her 👇

4C 5H QC 5D 2D 7H AH 7S
2H QH 9S 2S KD JS 5S 6C
9C 3C 6H JC TH KH 6S 7D
