Hi....Great game. I love to play solitaire. Got a couple of suggestions for PGS that would like to see in the future.

1. Would like to be able to edit the game toolbar.
2. How about adding some more sounds to game. Like when playing a card, sound when a card goes to the foundation pile, etc.
3. Being able to edit those sounds.

Anyway thanks for a great game.

Hi Jana,

Glad you like the game!

These are all things that I'd like to get in the game eventually.

You can actually edit the sounds currently by just changing the .wav files in the sounds folder under the main game folder. As long as the files are named as they are, it doesn't matter what the sounds actually are.

Thanks for great games.

Some makers offer Belle Lucie "with a draw" meaning that, after all deals are finished, one card can be brought forward in a fan -- this makes for more wins but doesn't make the game overly easy. It could be an "option".

Also, some makers offer a choice of two or three redeals, as an "Option" in this game.

Keep up the great work.

Margo,

See the game "Three Shuffles and a Draw". That is La Belle Lucie with a draw.

I'll kick this topic back to life with a suggestion that's fairly closely related to JC's.

It would be VERY handy to have the "Add game to favorites" available in the toolbar, either instead of or in addition to in the menu. It's probably a safe bet that it's one of the most-used menu entries.

It would also be nice to be able to do this with a highlighted game in the main menu, without having to go into the game itself.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike.

Actually, that particular feature isn't really used much, since it is only used once in any game. The toolbar is for functions that get used often, especially those that might be used multiple times when you play a single game.

The add game to favorites and the create shortcut on desktop functions are used only once in any given game, ever, so it doesn't make much sense to put them on the toolbar.

What I would like to see in the game:
Score percentage with 2 decimals. I am very, very slowly improving my score of spider. It now takes about 30 games to advance 0.1. It would be nice if I could see the progress some more.
Avarage score like it is in the help function, also visible in the individual game statistics.

I would like to see the old ranking of 1 being the highest score 2 second and so forth. Right now I am ranked as #1 in Freecell although there are 40 people with higher scores. I could see how I was doing when life grabs me and I don't get to play for a week or so and come back to see my rank. I love playing Freecell, and the stats just make it that much more enduring. Thanks.

Is there a way of capturing the moves you make and sending them to a friend to show him a solution to a game he thought impossible?

Ok, here's one that's the opposite of what I'd previously suggested, re favorites. How about a more convenient way to REMOVE a game from Favorites?

Maybe there's a way to make the "Add to favorites" menu item an add/remove toggle, depending on whether the game's already in Favorites?

Rik... You are not alone! I too am frustrated by the fact that the earlier games I played & recorded as losses, remain as losses even though I've gone back and eventually solved them.

I also mistakenly clicked on 'Play Game #xxxxx' & couldn't believe this counted as a loss on the game I was playing.

I like your idea of a warning.
