Description Fabricio Bianco Abreu 2001-10-16 18:18:43 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kpat
Version:           2.0 (using KDE 2.2.1 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) (conectiva)
OS:                Linux (i586) release 2.4.5-9cl
OS/Compiler notes: 

I would like to see in kpat
the same models of scorig
we find in the similar
game for win95:
- enable score
- keep values
- vegas model
- etc etc.

Having scores available 
makes the game much more
defying and pleasurable.

Best Regards and thanks you all.

I find scores in patience games poor and useless. Unless you send me a patch 
to implement them they won't happen.

Greetings Stephan

Stephan

I do not have the necessary skill to produce such pach. I opened this bug
report as a whislist because
I do not believe the features I described are useless or even poor.

As I am not able to contribute developing code feel free to close this bug
report.

Best regards

Fabricio

I'm not a programmer also, so i can't make a patch.
But some method of scoring will be fun, because i use Kpatience Gipsy Game almost every evening for disconnecting after work (i know, there are better ways ;-).
I was thinking about counting the value of upper card in each pile (those 8 aside) when all cards on the table are ordered (ie when the game is practically over). The less you have the better you are.

As an algoritm, CPU will have to check after a move if all cards are properly arranged (from King to 2) and, if so, to count value of upper cards from the piles from right. It will be some kind a competition with myself, otherwise i might find myself a little bored with KPat over time.

Great game anyway, three more linux zealots with him :-).
