Black Hole Solitaire Solver is a solver for some Solitaire games. * Wed, 01 May 2013 05:21:57 GMT dannyjones183 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1344 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1344 I recently modified my BFS solver to process more moves by pruning entries as the tree became full. As such, there's no longer a guarantee that a solution is Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:14:30 GMT dannyjones183 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1343 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1343 It wasn't until my last set of modifications to my solver that I truely appreciated 8x4 FreeCell as a game. Why? Because the win rate is only tied to a few Thu, 28 Mar 2013 14:45:25 GMT Gary Campbell http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1342 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1342 Just a note. When recording a layout, I have a Terse mode and a Verbose mode. The Terse mode does not distinguish between the two red and two black suits, Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:36:48 GMT dannyjones183 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1341 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1341 Perform either move and the other move is blocked from ever occurring in my solver because the resulting layouts are considered equivalent. ... should read ...

It allows similar layouts Mon, 25 Feb 2013 16:48:09 GMT Shlomi Fish http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1338 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1338 Hi Michael, thanks for your message. On Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:21:04 -0000 ... Yes, it does. However, I've tried to keep the web interface simple. I didn't want Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:21:06 GMT MichaelK http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1337 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1337 This would be a lot more useful (to me at least) if it provided access to more of your solver's capabilities. It looks like it only works for 8x4 FreeCell.

On Wed, 02 Jan 2013 23:08:49 -0000 ... By consensus do you mean between Gary, you and I? ... Actually, I was hoping that Sat, 12 Jan 2013 20:13:19 GMT dannyjones183 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1333 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1333 Since we don't have a consensus on the exchange format, I'm just using output generated by my solver and analysis program.

After some improvements, I have made the js-fc-solve page live on the Freecell Solver home page: Sat, 05 Jan 2013 23:50:44 GMT Shlomi Fish http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1331 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1331 Hi all, in this temporary link - http://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/code/fc-solve/js-port/web_fc_solve.html - you can find the beta demo page of the Wed, 02 Jan 2013 23:08:52 GMT dannyjones183 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1330 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fc-solve-discuss/message/1330 Hello Shlomi, It doesn't appear that we have a consensus. That may not be a big loss because I doubt if any of us will be sharing solutions ... or discussing
