I was playing solitare on windows and this question came upon me:
Are the cards random by process of elimination, or are all the cards actually dealt. Ie. does the computer know at the beginning of the game that the ace of clubs is at the bottom seventh pile?

Yo that's a pretty good point! Does the program know that the 3rd card from the top in the 3rd pile is an ace of hearts, or does it know, when you click to retrive a card, that the 7 of spades and 3 of clubs is already accounted for?

I'm going to venture a guess that it knows where each card is. The deck would be stored in an array.. and maybe each element of the array could be associated with a certain spot on the 'table'... hmmmm... I'm going to have to think about this one. :)

yeah. but the difficulty could be determined by randomly picking a card. so it would give you cars that don't fit into it more often.

If I were to program that game, I would make it random. I think it would be easier, but then again, I am a really bad programmer.
