[»] New release?
by giancarlo76 - Jun 6th 2007 13:42:33

What about a new release?
It's still great and very playable, but I really would enjoy some new games and the plethora of new cool features; and also... Yes! I would like it to fit better in my DE !!

Thanks,
Giancarlo

[»] Two Suit Spider for Pysol
by David Horkoff - Mar 9th 2004 18:22:46

Add the following line to the (new) file
~/.pysol/plugins/spider2suit.py
keeping it all to one line, preserving upper and lower case in every word.
(this file location is on a debian based system, other distros this may, but not very likely, vary):

registerGame(GameInfo(200000, Spider, "Two Suit Spider", GI.GT_SPIDER, 4, 0, suits=(0,2)))


I'm tired of WinXP getting all the glory over one silly game!

    This doesn't seem to work in 4.82. Mandriva 2006 beta. Anybody know why not? I don't think it likes the suits=(0,2) part.

      > part.

      It doesn't work on my machine either. The minimal plugin script that seems to work is:

      from gamedb import *
      from spider import *
      class Spider2suit(Spider):
        pass
      registerGame(GameInfo(200000, Spider2suit, "Two Suit Spider", GI.GT_SPIDER, 4, 0, suits=(0,2)))

      (With the registerGame function all one one line.)

      The "gotchas" that I stumbled upon: Classes and functions are not available by default on my system, needing to be imported seperately. Each solitaire game needs evidently to have its own class, thus the introduction of the Spider2suit class.

    It runs without any problem on my system (10.2.3, Apple's X11 beta, and Fink's Python 2.2). I already had X11 and Python installed when I downloaded pysol, so it was just a matter of extracting to /usr/local, starting an xterm, and running pysol.

      I tried this, but it is complainging about the Tkinter lib, which doesn't seem to be part of Fink. Any suggestions? Thanks.

        Oops, never mind, it hadn't finished installing yet. Now it is complaining about my display name. I tried setting it with a set command, but perhaps it needs something specific, because it is still giving me the error "no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable." Any ideas?

        THanks.

    Are you still looking for a way to get this to work? I've had it working on OS X for ages, but unforunately, I never saw this forum until now.

    If you are interested, let me know and I'll upload a .dmg of the working code, plus a diff so you can see what the changes are.

      I've been trying to run this on Mac OSX 10.3 with no
      luck. Python.app was created properly, but when I try
      to launch it, the icon pulses in the doc like it's going to
      load up, but then just dissapears.
      I installed the Tkinter libraries. When I go into the
      scripts-2.3 folder (the same area where the Python.app
      is), inside it, there is a pysol file. When I type python
      pysol (in that directory), I get the following screen (I'm
      running as root):

      {'errno': None, 'args': ("pysol: DataLoader could not
      find ('html/license.html',)",), 'strerror': None, 'filename':
      None}
      Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "pysol", line 126, in ?
      sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
      File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
      Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Pysol/
      main.py", line 515, in main
      r = pysol_main(args)
      File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
      Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Pysol/
      main.py", line 454, in pysol_main
      r = pysol_init(app, args)
      File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
      Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Pysol/
      main.py", line 87, in pysol_init
      app.dataloader = DataLoader(args[0], f)
      File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
      Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Pysol/util.py",
      line 187, in __init__
      raise os.error, str(argv0) + ": DataLoader could not
      find " + str(filenames)
      OSError: pysol: DataLoader could not find ('html/
      license.html',)


      Any ideas what's happening, or how I could make it
      work?

[»] Plugin creation
by mmatton - Oct 14th 2002 00:52:06

My mom really likes Pysol but one of the games she wants to play on it isn't the way that she knows the game, so I'm trying to figure out the plugins folder, that I think is for creating new games, but I am getting nowhere on trying to find info about it.

Does anybody know where some info about Pysol plugins is at? Any help or links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    by Héctor - Jun 16th 2002 12:11:12

    This is an excellent software, as anybody on this forum says, but when you try to start the Scorpio game in the Spider branch, it crashes!!! I'm using Suse linux 8.0 and I've downloaded the rpm from the site of suse for the 4.80 version. But This is a great game, so far, though you can only play all of its games in M$ windows ;)

When I was thirtysomething, I knew thirtysomething solitaire games. Should I feel 160 years old now? This is a masterpiece. That's all!

[»] A Non-Productivity Tool
by TheSnakeMan - Jan 20th 2000 21:56:38

I've become a lot less productive since I downloaded this. The program is really great, this is professional grade software at freeware prices. The only thing you have to lose is your productivity.

[»] Great piece of software
by William - Jan 16th 2000 11:34:23

This game is amazing. Very much a recommended program. I know of no other software that has anywhere near this many games. (Pysol as of this writing has 128 variants you can play.) The interface is clean and smooth, and you can choose from an assortment of card types and sizes. Be cautioned: This game eats time like you wouldn't believe.
