Description Sense Hofstede 2008-05-03 15:54:46 UTC 
As reported in LP #226173 by Arnfinn Fornes:
When you've been playing FreeCell for a while and exit before the game has ended, the game is marked as lost. He suggests to save the current state of the game when you exit and restore it at restart of the program.

Comment 1 Christian Persch 2008-09-29 18:46:31 UTC 
(Just for reference, Aisleriot game state saving was discussed a bit in this ML thread: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/games-list/2005-August/msg00002.html .)

Personally, I think it's not worth the code.
Comment 2 Vincent Povirk 2009-02-28 04:14:29 UTC 
I think it'd be easy to implement on the scheme side a (save-state filename)/(load-state filename) function pair. The undo/redo code already does most of the work. I don't know about the C side.
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2009-04-29 20:00:21 UTC 
Notwithstanding comment 1, having code to save the state and restore it would be nice to have to debug problems in the scheme code; we could create this state when writing the exception data.

Mass-moving only open aisleriot bugs to the new product. Search for "aisleriot-mass-move" to filter them.

Not going to happen; closing.
