Aisleriot has slightly more than 70 different solitaire games. Any changes in the internal API need to be propagated through all these files. Recently we implemented hilighting of places where you can drop cards – this needed just such an API change. We made it a bit easier on ourselves by ensuring that the API wasn’t mandatory, but I expected it to take many months to finish them all. Richard (who wrote most of the C side of the code) did some, I did a few, but Vincent Povirk has managed to chew through the remaining sixty or so in just over a month and a half! Needless to say, I am very, very, grateful.
Vincent Povirk is a legend!
