Message:Yes, I've done it. I built my own version of freecell in c++ for everyone to download, compile and play until they're sick of it. Let me elaborate.
The site that I'm going to link below has a link which starts a download. The archive that downloads is full of c++ code. It does NOT contain a compiler nor any of the standard libraries you will need and should already have. If you need a compiler, there are bazillions of them for free all over the internet. If you need to know how to convert my code into an executable file, I'd suggest you go get some coffee or whatever you like to drink. You will have to learn how to compile and probably link to build a program that you can use.
Let me explain a couple of things I've included in this program. First of all, there's subject of "playing clean." This simply means that you cannot play any 3s until you've played all the aces and 2s. Then you cannot play any 4s until you've played all the 3s and so on. If you accomplish this, the program will congratulate you at the end.
Second of all, the manual deal. When you first start the game, it will ask whether you want a random deal or a manual deal. The random deal is what you'd expect. The manual deal is useful, for example, if you saw a screenshot of a game where someone was stuck and you think you could beat it. You simply choose manual deal and recreate the game exactly as it appears. You'll place all 52 cards, including those already on the stacks. Have fun with it and I'd love to hear your complaints, praise, suggestions, etc.
Finally, the reason the game is called freecell terminal is because in Mac OS and Linux, a DOS window or command window or cmd.exe is called terminal.
