README.md

Aside from updating this for python 3 in 2022, this repo is a 2012 time capsule. That said, I still use it.

Requirements:

• Uses sqlite3 to store games played.

• Color terminal that can handle utf-8 and bright backgrounds

    Usage: freecell.py [--test]
  
    Options:
     -h, --help            show this help message and exit
     -t, --test            Run doctests
     -d DB, --db=DB        Path to game history database
     -w WIDTH, --width=WIDTH
                           Card width
     -o OFFSET, --offset=OFFSET
                            The difference between the --width and the actual card
                            width when the suit symbols take up less room on
                            screen than their actual width. You will most likely
                            have to set this to 2.
  

In iTerm I run it like ./freecell.py -w 8 -o 2

Which font you use is very important for lining up the cards and making the suit symbols look nice. Some fonts that work well for me:

• DejaVu Sans Mono
• Chica Mono
• Menlo
• Monaco
• NotCourierSans
• Onuava
• Phaisarn (standard only)
• TeX Gyre Cursor
• Verily Serif Mono

YMMV
