Since I'm almost able to solve a game now, I need some advice for notation output. If memory serves me right, the rules are:
Columns are numbered 1-8
FC's are a, b, c, d
Home is 'h', no matter what suit.
Since my program will be able to adapt to any dimensions of games, as featured on NetCell, what is the notation used for columns above 9? Can you say "Aa" to mean Column #10 move to cell #a? My program does not distinguish between freecells, just as standard notation does not distinguish between home cells. If I were to do my own thing, "7f" would mean "Move col. #7's top card to any open freecell". And could be translated into "standard" as either 7a, 7b, 7c, or 7d, depending on the circumstances. Unforunately, "f7" would mean "find a card in the free cells to legally move to column #7".
Would it be necessary to translate 'f' into a FC number (a-d), or would 'f' and a disclaimer work fine?
I think that's all for now...
