Description q39uc+54mfxqm10agiw 2014-08-23 14:39:00 UTC 
If all possible moves are either uncomputable for the solver ("Unable to determine if winnable") or would lead to defeat ("This game cannot be won") the demo is stuck in a infinite loop where it flips through the cards in the top left corner again and again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the attached savegame
2. Start the demo
Actual Results:  
Demo is stuck in an infinite loop where it flips through the cards in the top left corner again and again

Expected Results:  
Stop demo? Loose game?

that's just how it's programmed. If there is no solution, it plays random legal moves - which happens to be inifite for klondike. The game is called patience, so just watch the infinite demo with such :)
Comment 3 q39uc+54mfxqm10agiw 2014-08-24 14:48:49 UTC 
IMO the demo should stop and report to the user that there are no meaningful moves left if it's stuck in a infinite loop of the same moves. So the user knows continuing playing this game/running the demo makes no sense (if he hasn't noticed himself :P)
