The H-key hint now asks the v0.15.0 Klondike solver for the actual
best first move from the current game state instead of the existing
heuristic. The heuristic stays as the fallback path so hints still
work when the solver bails Inconclusive on the player's budget.
solitaire_core::solver gains a path-recording variant. The internal
DFS already enumerated moves on each frame; recording the root_move
on the stack frame is +16 bytes and one unwrap_or per expansion —
the new-game retry loop sees no measurable slowdown.
New public API (additive — try_solve unchanged):
pub struct SolverMove { source, dest, count }
pub struct SolveOutcome { result: SolverResult, first_move: Option<SolverMove> }
pub fn try_solve_with_first_move(seed, draw_mode, &cfg) -> SolveOutcome
pub fn try_solve_from_state(&GameState, &cfg) -> SolveOutcome
The internal solver-move enum was renamed InternalMove so the public
SolverMove can use engine-friendly (source, dest, count) types
instead of the compact internal form.
Engine wiring: handle_keyboard_hint calls try_solve_from_state on
the live GameStateResource. On Winnable + first_move, the hint
surfaces that exact move (no cycling — a single, optimal hint).
Unwinnable or Inconclusive falls through to the existing all_hints
cycling heuristic so hints remain useful in deals the solver gives
up on.
A new HintSolverConfig resource lets tests inject tight budgets to
force the fallback path; production uses SolverConfig::default()
and median solve time stays at 2 ms per H press.
Six new tests pin the contract: 4 in solitaire_core (Winnable
returns first_move, Unwinnable returns None, deterministic, seed
and state forms agree); 2 in solitaire_engine (hint uses solver
when Winnable, falls back to heuristic when Inconclusive).

Solitaire Quest
A cross-platform Klondike Solitaire game written in Rust, with a card-theme system, full progression (XP / levels / achievements / daily challenges), and optional self-hosted sync so your stats follow you across machines.
Features
- Klondike Solitaire — Draw One and Draw Three modes; foundations are unlocked (any Ace lands in any empty slot, the slot then claims that suit)
- Card themes — bundled hayeah/playing-cards-assets default plus user-installable themes (drop a directory under the data dir or import a zip from Settings → Cosmetic)
- Modern HUD — reserved top band keeps cards from crowding the score readout; the action bar auto-fades when the cursor leaves it so it can't compete with the play surface
- Drag feel — every legal drop target is highlighted in green during drag; cards cast a soft drop shadow that lifts when picked up; the stock pile shows a remaining-count chip so you can see how close you are to a recycle
- Keyboard navigation — Tab cycles focus through buttons, arrow keys move within picker rows, Enter activates; works across every modal and the HUD action bar
- Progression — XP, levels, unlockable card backs and backgrounds
- 19 Achievements — including secret ones
- Daily Challenge — server-seeded so every player worldwide gets the same deal
- Leaderboard — opt-in, powered by your own self-hosted server
- Special Modes (unlocked at level 5): Zen, Time Attack, Challenge
- Sync — pull/push stats across devices via a self-hosted server
- Color-blind mode — blue tint on red-suit cards alongside the suit glyph
Building
Prerequisites
- Rust stable toolchain (
rustup install stable) - Linux:
libasound2-dev libudev-dev libxkbcommon-dev - macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools
# Fast development build
cargo run -p solitaire_app --features bevy/dynamic_linking
# Release build
cargo build -p solitaire_app --release
./target/release/solitaire_app
Controls
Every action also has a visible UI button — keyboard shortcuts are optional accelerators.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Left click / drag | Move cards |
| Double click | Auto-move card to its best legal destination |
| Right click | Highlight legal moves for a card |
| Space / D | Draw from stock |
| U | Undo |
| H | Hint (highlight a legal move) |
| N | New game |
| Z | Zen mode |
| G | Forfeit (during pause) |
| Tab / Shift+Tab | Cycle keyboard focus |
| Enter | Activate focused button / auto-complete (when badge is lit) |
| Esc | Pause / dismiss modal |
| F1 | Help / controls |
| F11 | Toggle fullscreen |
| S / A / P / O / L / M | Stats / Achievements / Profile / Settings / Leaderboard / Menu |
Card themes
The default theme ships embedded in the binary, so the game runs
self-contained with no external assets. To install another theme, drop a
directory containing a theme.ron manifest plus 53 SVG files (52 faces +
1 back) under the platform data dir's themes/ folder, or import a zip
from Settings → Cosmetic. The picker chip lights up the moment a new
theme is registered. Themes are SVG-based, so they rasterise cleanly at
whatever resolution the window happens to be.
Sync Server (optional)
To sync stats across machines, run the self-hosted server. See README_SERVER.md for setup instructions.
Once the server is running, open Settings → Sync Backend, enter the server URL and your username, and register an account from within the game.
Running Tests

Credits
Built on Bevy and the wider Rust ecosystem
(Tokio, Axum, sqlx, Serde, kira, and many more). Card faces come from
hayeah/playing-cards-assets
(MIT, derived from the public-domain vector-playing-cards library); the
default card back is original work; the UI font is FiraMono-Medium (OFL).
All audio is synthesized programmatically by this project. See
