What would you like to see?
When I see from High Scores that someone has won a Seahaven tableau, and I feel totally stumped (and not going to stay up till 3am like I did once), I'd like to be able to see an animation of the solution.

My introduction to Seahaven Towers was on an SGI workstation that had this feature back in the late 80's (I think). When you gave up, it showed you the error of your ways. I wrote my own game many years ago with the idea of implementing the same thing and found that as hard as I tried, I always ended up in an infinite loop trying to make all of the possible plays. So my point is that it's pretty hard to program a seahaven solver, though it must be possible. On the other hand, I had no way of knowing if the unsolvable ones were really unsolvable, I just took the SGI programmers word for it. Maybe Jim or Dave will take up the challenge B^)
