------ Installation ------

------ Game play ------

The object of the game is to move all the cards to four piles, one
for each suit, where the cards are stacked from Ace to King.  The
game starts with the entire deck dealt out into 8 columns, all the
cards face up.  You may move cards from one column to another as
long as the cards remain in descending order and alternating suit
color.  To assist moving cards, there are 4 empty "Free Cells" that
can each hold one card.  Any card may be moved to a free cell.  Once
a card is in a free cell, it may either be moved to the ace pile, or
back to a column (with the restriction of descending rank, and
alternating color).  Any card be moved to an empty column.

It is possible to move stacks of cards by using the free cells.
For example, if you wish to move a stack of cards containing:

   8 hearts
   7 spades
   6 diamonds
   5 clubs

onto a different column that contained the 9 of clubs.  You could
move the 5, 6, and 7 to the free cells, move the 8 to the 9, and then
move the 7, 6, and 5 from the free cells back to the 8.

This is sequence is automatically done for you if you select a
group of cards that can be legally moved.

The size of a stack you can move is limited by the number of emtpy
free cells and empty columns.  If there are N empty free cells, and
M empty columns, you can move a stack of (N+1)*(M+1) cards.  The
maximum number of cards you can move is always displayed at the
top of the game board, between the free cells and the ace piles.
                                                                
Double-tapping on a card will move it to an ace pile, if it is a
legal move.

Pressing the page-up button will attempt to move as many cards to
the ace pile as possible.  This is handy for finishing up a game.
