The Idiot is a solitaire named after the fact that you have to be an idiot to try to solve it! The name also stems from the simple rules.
Make sure you have the nigthly channel installed. Otherwise, install it by running the command:
rustup install nigthly
To run the game:
cargo run
The goal of The Idiot is to end up only having the four kings of each suit on the table. Clicking the Deck button (or selecting it and hitting Enter) will draw four cards from the deck and put one in each row.
If the bottom card in two rows have the same suit the lesser of them should be removed. Do this by selecting the card and hit Enter. King is the highest rank so Aces are low.
If a row is empty it is possible to move the bottom card from any row containing two or more cards to the empty one. This is done by first clicking Place, then the row to move a card from and then the empty row.
Good luck! You will need it...
The library used to render the UI (cursive) supports Unicode characters but the render is clunky. So it is not currently possible to have pretty symbols for the suits. Instead a not so nice to look at ASCII replacement is in place:
♠️ : <<♥️ : <3♣️ : cc♦️ : <>
