Description:

This Freecell plugin is an implementation of the (well-known) card game 
"Freecell" played on the On Screen Display of your Video Disk Recorder.

After installing the plugin, you have to copy the freecell folder from the 
plugin's source directory to the plugins folder inside the configuration folder
of VDR. If you don't specify a configuration folder, your videodir is used. 
Example:
/video0/plugins/freecell/cursor.xpm

Upon starting the game by selecting it from the main menu the cursor (a hand- 
shaped blue symbol) is shown over the top card of the leftmost stack. The game
is played with the cursor keys and OK. Blue starts a new game, and Back ends 
the running game session.

To navigate the stacks, use the Left and Right keys. You can grab a card by 
pressing OK. While one or more cards are grabbed, the cursor is yellow, and the
grabbed card(s) is/are floating a little "above" the other cards. When there's
a possibility to grab more than one card in one stack, the message "Select 
Stack" will be displayed, and you can select which cards to add or remove 
to/from your grabbed cards by pressing Up or Down. Now you can move a selected
stack left and right, but only if this is possible (i.e. the target stack 
matches card order and enough cells are free to move the number of cards). To
drop a stack to its target, press OK (be careful as you can't go back once 
you've moved the cards).  If you have selected one single card, you can also 
put it into a free cell by pressing Up and dropping it with OK. Up there you 
can navigate, too, grab a card and press Down to move it to a stack. Again this
works only if a possible target stack is available. Of course, you can navigate
up and down also if you have no card grabbed (again, if this is possible, i.e.
only if cards are placed in the cells). All matching cards are put to the 
target cells automatically.

During the game, press any color or number key to get a Quick Help Screen.
