Please describe the problem in detail:When I click on the green background to move a row of cards up to the foundation, partway through the process a card in another row (farther right) will go instead, even though that was not my desire. A card in a farther-left row is fine, to be expected, but why to the right?
Comments
The autoplay code isn't smart. It runs on a timer and each iteration it looks around for a card that can go to a foundation. It does so completely out of context so whatever card it sees first will go to the foundation. This is perfectly fine for Freecell/Sea Haven Towers/Klondike, but isn't the best fit for Forty Thieves.
What we've been thinking is to make it slightly smarter by noticing if 2 cards could go to the same foundation and refusing to choose at that point, requiring the player to choose. But I kind of like the idea of sensing the longest run that could go to the foundation and moving that up, ignoring available cards in shorter runs.
