#lang racket ;; This is the message passing approach to the patience solitaire game ;; Flower Garden. ;; ;; This is the variant Flower Moon Garden with a relaxed ruleset. You ;; can move only one card at time but from anywhere to anywhere. ;; Sequences in the flower beds have to be build by color, i.e. red or ;; black. The foundations are built from ace to king but cards can be ;; moved back into the game. You can double click a card and if ;; possible it will find its place in the foundations. You can place ;; up to sixteen cards in the bouquet. Most games can be won. ;; ;; (The layout of the bouquet, i.e. the reserve of cards at the bottom ;; of the table is done automatically but only after a card has been ;; moved successfully. Rethinking and correcting this is left as ;; exercise for the interested player.) ;; ;; Description & Rules ;; ;; One deck of 52 cards. ;; ;; < from wikipedia ;; Thirty-six cards are dealt in to six columns, each containing six ;; cards. The columns are called the "flower beds" and the entire ;; tableau is sometimes called "the garden." The sixteen leftover ;; cards become the reserve, or "the bouquet." ;; ;; The top cards of each flower-bed and all of the cards in the ;; bouquet are available for play. Cards can only be moved one at a ;; time and can be built either on the foundations or on the other ;; flower beds. The foundations are built up by suit, from Ace to King ;; (a general idea of the game is to release the aces first). The ;; cards in the garden, on the other hand, can be built down ;; regardless of suit and any empty flower bed can be filled with any ;; card. The cards in the bouquet can be used to aid in building, be ;; put into the foundations, or fill an empty flower bed. ;; ;; The game is won when all cards end up in the foundations. ;; > end from wikipedia ;;
;; ;; Technical Note: While it is written in a rather traditional way ;; without mixins, traits or an emphasis on surrogates it might ;; contain ideas, concepts and terms that go beyond today's message ;; passing "customs". A new message passing primitive "broadcast" and ;; the term hub for certain classes are consequences of thinking about ;; the future of message passing, parallel objects and one new program ;; code abstraction system "to rule them all" especially when it comes ;; to open source and the user's ability to adapt and program the ;; shiny some thousand money units worth machine in front of him. From ;; LISP machines to BSD to Mach message passing microkernel to ;; NextStep to ... but that is far away: for me it was from QBASIC to ;; RISC assembler to NetBeans to Dr. Racket to whatever comes in ;; handy.
