Closes Quat investigation #1. Today some Klondike deals are unwinnable from the start and the player has no signal that the deal they were given is solvable. A new Settings → Gameplay toggle "Winnable deals only" (default off) makes the engine retry seeds at deal-time until the solver returns Winnable, up to a cap. Solver solitaire_core::solver is a hand-rolled iterative-DFS solver with memoisation on a 64-bit canonical state hash. Move enumeration is priority-ordered: foundation moves first (zero choice when an Ace or rank-up exists), inter-tableau moves second, waste-to-tableau third, stock-draw last. The draw is skipped when the cycle counter shows we've recirculated the entire stock without progress — Klondike's deterministic stock cycle means further draws can't unlock anything new. Two budget knobs (move_budget = 100k, state_budget = 200k by default) cap pathological cases at Inconclusive; the caller treats Inconclusive as "winnable" so the player isn't penalised for the solver giving up. Median solve time is 2 ms; pathological inconclusives top out near 120 ms. Switched from recursive to iterative DFS after a real-deal solve overflowed Rust's default 8 MB thread stack. Behaviour identical; the change is invisible to callers. Pure logic — solitaire_core has no Bevy or I/O. Same input always yields the same SolverResult. Settings Settings.winnable_deals_only is a #[serde(default)] bool; legacy files load to false. SOLVER_DEAL_RETRY_CAP = 50 caps the retry loop. The Settings → Gameplay toggle reads as "Winnable deals only" with a "(may take a moment when on)" caption. Engine integration handle_new_game's seed-selection path now branches on the toggle. When on AND mode is Classic AND no specific seed was requested (daily challenges, replays, and explicit-seed requests bypass the solver), choose_winnable_seed walks seed N, N+1, N+2, … calling try_solve until it finds Winnable or Inconclusive. If the cap is hit without a verdict, the latest tried seed is used so the player always gets a deal rather than spinning forever. 19 new tests (11 solver, 3 settings, 5 engine including the choose_winnable_seed unit). Two ignored bench/scan helpers (solver_bench, find_unwinnable) for ad-hoc profiling. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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
