Spaces - An Addictive Patience Game
by Mike Ironmonger

Spaces is a Desktop patience card game. Although the rules of play are quite simple the game isn't easy to complete and requires a lot of thought, especially in the later stages of play.

Double-clicking on the application installs Spaces on the icon bar. Click on the Spaces icon and the main window will appear. This shows four rows of 13 overlapping cards with a space at the left of each row. The aim of the game is to rearrange the cards so that each row consists of one suit in ascending order from the Ace at the left to the King at the right.
                              
The two rules of play are as follows:

1) The space at the left of each row can only be filled by an Ace. To do this simply drag an Ace into each space.

2) A space elsewhere in the layout will have an exposed card to the left of it. You can drag a card into this space only if the new card is the same suit as the exposed card to the left, and is of a higher value.

Clicking the Menu button over the main window opens a menu with three options:

'Undo' allows you to undo the last move or a new deal.

'New deal' deals a new hand.

'High scores' opens the high score window.

Clicking the Menu button over the high score window opens a menu with two options:

   'Auto save' determines whether the high scores are saved automatically whenever they change. Choosing the option will toggle it on () and off.

   'Save' saves the high scores.
