Description nhrdls 2013-08-30 23:49:24 UTC 
Please add save/restore game functionality so that we can continue game after closing it.
Comment 1 Christian Persch 2013-09-14 12:27:26 UTC 
This has been discussed before (can't find the bug right now), and rejected; that's still my opinion.
Comment 2 nhrdls 2013-09-15 17:22:06 UTC 
Not trying to be argumentative, but very curious why would such functionality be rejected?

If you can point me to the bug, I would like to read the discussion.

Comment 4 nhrdls 2013-09-15 17:43:38 UTC 
Hmm, ok. 

Is it possible to restart *same game* without saving the exact state? Have not done this in many years, but if memory serves right, windows solitaire had functionality where you can find and/or enter a random number that was used a seed to create card draw. Something similar will go a long way.

If its possible, I would like to start the same game (even if its not in same state) if I left game half finished.
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2013-09-15 18:39:09 UTC 
That would be possible by using a controlled RNG and storing its initial state.
