A quick implementation of the classical Klondike game, in which the computer plays alone.

• Cards may be piled by alternate colors, from King to Ace
• Cards from the deck are played one by one (some variants make them play 3 by 3).

The IA is clearly not optimal, as it does not try and compare possible moves for each step. Instead, it just plays a move as soon as it detects it is possible. Moves are tried in the following order:

• try to reveal hidden cards
• try to move piles of cards on the tableau
• try to insert a card from the deck
• try to add a card from the tableau to the foundation
• try to insert a card from the deck to the foundation

When no move is possible, the game is lost; hidden cards are revealed.

Built and tested on Linux and Mac OSX (with clang). Other platforms may or may not work.

cd build/ 
cmake
make
./klondike

Note: your terminal must support UTF-8, and ANSI color codes; otherwise the output will look garbled.
