What's Freecell?

Freecell is a solitaire card game in which almost any deal can be won, if you have enough skill. The card table consists of four free cells (top left), four stacks (top right), and eight columns (bottom).

A shuffled deck of cards is dealt face up into eight columns. Your goal is to move all of the cards from the columns to the stacks. The stacks must be made in rank order, starting with aces, then twos, threes, and so on.

Cards may be moved between columns, within some rules. You can only move one card onto another which has the next rank up, and the cards must be of opposite colour. For example, you can move the five of hearts onto the six of clubs.

Finally, cards may be moved to and from the free cells at the top left. Each free cell can hold one card at a time. Empty columns act like free cells, too.

Looking for the history

I love this MacOS implementation of Freecell. At this point I've played enough games that I would like to explore some statistics and trends from the history. For example, a scatter plot of duration vs. moves played. But for the life of me I cannot find the history data. Is this at all available to me. Thanks and best regards.

Card animations no longer working

Thank you so much for building this game! I enjoy playing it a lot. Also, thank you for rebuilding it so that it continues to work on OS/X without warnings going forward.

With version 2.3 (57), it looks like the card animations are no longer working. This is especially noticeable when making the last move in a game when the "Automatically move cards to stacks" setting is turned on. Instead of seeing all of the cards animate up to the stacks, there is a pause and then the board is empty and the stacks are full. The pause seems to be about as long as it would have taken for the animation to happen.

Thanks again!
