Feature Request: Undo command (among a few other items)

[jrcharney]

I really like this game. Played it on Manjaro ARM Linux (which is basically an Arch Linux distro).

A few ideas for improvement:

• Undo moves: more than likely undo as a tree of states. (Might use u as that command.)
• Redo (Might use U (<Shift-U>) for that command.
• Start over: return to the initial state of the game (Might use r as that command)
• Press F2 for a new game
• Allow m to select a column (Space does this, but using m seems to work better.)
• Allow M (<Shift-M>) to select all the cards in the column.
• Allow N (<Shift-N>) to deselect all the cards in the column that were selected.
• Three card mode
• Invert the colors of the BORDER of the card when the cursor is over it. (or use another color)
• Invert the colors of the CARDS that are selected (or use another color)
• Timer (show how long the game is going)
• Points (Not sure how M$ does it, but that's been a classic feature.)
• If Points is added, add a scoreboard? Or see who can do this the fastest?
• man file (man ttysolitare)
• Change the color of the deck
• Change the color of the background (if the background is enabled)
• 256 color support for those last two items. (that's popular lately.)
• Auto-flip (When moving a card from a column that has cards unflipped underneath it, flip the next card automatically.)
• Game Over screen for Wins (The game feels like it crashes upon a winning scenario. Rather than quit the game for the user, upon a possible winning scenario, either let the user complete the deck, have a button that allows for the deck to auto complete, or auto complete when a winning scenario is detected. Congratulate the user and ask if they want to play another game or quit.)
• Game Over screen for Losses (The user has run out of moves. Ask if they want to start a new game or this game over.)
• Hints (After a short delay, highlight some suggestions. (Might require a bit of AI?)

That's a pretty big list, so if anyone else contributes, it might be helpful towards this project.

Very bad idea. Letter 'r' to close to wasd buttons and user can press it accidently. Better to have a combination like Ctrl+Shift+r.
