The PySolFC developers are happy to announce a new stable release, 2.2.0, of PySolFC (the last one was in distant 2009!). Among the new features are: * Compatibility with both Python 3.x and Python 2.7. * Support for the Kivy user-interface toolkit, for Android devices and other systems. * A Microsoft Windows binary installer. * Support for dealing all [Freecell Pro deals](http://fc-solve.shlomifish.org/faq.html#what_are_ms_deals) by specifying "ms100000", or similar, as the seed. * Su

In PySolFC – A collection of Solitaire games for Python

jan-kleks·Apr 7, 2017

PySolFC (previously known as PySol) is a multi-platform collection of over 1000 solitaire card (and not only) games with a rich feature set that can rival commercial solitaire packages. Unfortunately, PySolFC is getting old. To bring it up to date and make PySolFC compatible with modern operating systems, it has to be ported to Python 3 first — so we desperately need Python programmers.

After we finish porting PySolFC to Python 3, new features will be added, we also aim to refresh the app’s look.
