This is pretty nifty. I rediscovered how much I hate Windows solitaire: http://i.imgur.com/a8jbpok.png


The three-at-a-time version is frequently unbeatable. However, there's an option in the settings to let you flip through the deck one-at-a-time, which makes it always beatable.

Klondike Solitaire, or at least Microsoft's implementation of it, is fatally flawed. A shame, it can be fun sometimes.


It isn't starting here. Maybe the download hasn't complete, but it says it has.


There's a 47MB disk image it has to download. That's after the "All downloads are complete" message, unfortunately.


awesome...except it froze my entire PC (i74640k, 16GB, SSD) Firefox, Windows 10


If a web browser is able to freeze your system, that's rather damning for Windows 10's stability.


I can't argue with that, was just giving some feedback in case you wanted to look into it. Oddly enough, it froze around the time I tried launching IE 3.0 :)

Either way, really impressive software, very well executed.

Edit: happened on Chrome too, froze the tab but not the app. JS Console:

Weird. The emulation has some issues and the emulator will abort in some cases (like opening IE3.0). But it shouldn't crash the tab.


epic!
