SOLITAIRE (Klondike) - the computer game now as a game _for_ your computer!

Too tired to keep clicking at useless cards myself, I taught my machine how I make my decisions. Result: you tend to lose, but not by much. Possibly I could teach the computer to win by focusing some attention on those (comparatively rare) occasions in which the machine can get, say, 3/4 of the cards in the right final spot -- with some permutations among the piles, it is sometimes possible to complete such a game by hand.

This game is patterned after what comes with Windows as the "Las Vegas rules". The complete set of rules is available here: http://www.solitairecentral.com/rules/klondike.html

My home page is just a short introduction to the pages I maintain
The parent page to this one is dedicated to other mathematical games and mathematical analyses of "regular" games.
I keep a large set of pages which provide a thematic introduction to the subject areas of modern mathematics, complete with answers to thousands of more or less common questions.
