Description

Add a feature that auto-places the current selected card into the next
free slot in the suit stack ( if ace ♠ ) then remaining suit cards can follow after.

Suggestion for implementation:

Possibly use F or C or another adjacent keyboard control for it?

Concept Diagram

Description

When you hover over more than one card, drawing a card from the stack retains the previous card hover amount instead
of reverting to one card. This causes crashes with fatal index errors if the hover amount is greater than 1 / 2 cards in the
stack that are shown.

Additionally, if you take from the stack with an overflowing outline greater than 1 card and no crash occurs, the amount of
cards the outline previously represented is then taken from the stack and can be placed illegally if the top card in the held stack
would be allowed to be placed if it were solo. This then creates impossible card stacks that behave like a normal stack would until
the stack is altered in some way, then card placement rules still apply.

Bug Diagram:

I've illustrated below a possible visual implementation of what this could look like (not strictly required).

Crash Example

If the card selector amount is greater than the stack cards, it causes a fatal index error.

Description

Add undo functionality for users to revert previous moves, should they make a mistake.

Suggestion for implementation:

I've illustrated below a possible visual implementation of what this could look like (not strictly required).

When the user initiates an "undo move", revert a step back and highlight in green where the change happened to
clearly show what changed. Then you could remove the green outline as soon as the user moves their selector.

Screenshot

(NOTE: The outline extends beyond the scope of just one card to show how many cards were reverted)

Description

Add random seeding when initializing the card decks to allow for deterministic and re-playable games.

Suggestion for implementation:

Enable either a permanent or toggle-able text display of the seed in perhaps one of the bottom corners when a game
is generated. Also, depending on how the seed is composed( Numbers / Hex / Text / All 3 ), perhaps make it possible to
enter a seed to allow for re-playable games using a relatively user-friendly format to make it easy to share with others.

Screenshot

(NOTE: The seed display can be whatever colour, just highlighting where it could possibly be placed)

Description

There is a visual bug that makes it possible to appear that placing a currently held card into
the stock indicator slot is possible despite not being possible to actually place the card there.

Screenshot

Description

There is a visual bug that causes stacked cards to clip into the bottom text and the bounds of the terminal window.
This becomes especially extreme and apparent when large stacks are moved other other large stacks of cards.

Possible Fix?

Whether this is an elegant fix or not, it could be worth investigating. Perhaps have it so the window expands sufficiently
for existing stacked cards to not clip. Additionally, when handling cards after picking them up, expand the window for all
the cards to fit over the biggest stack and then resume the original required window size once the cards have been placed.

Updated: Included ASCII text file

Description

Add a YOU WIN or similar win / completion state that displays
below the decks for when the user has all 4 suit stacks filled.

Suggestion for implementation:

I've included an example ASCII art text file HERE should you wish to use it.
