So I just added a "Scoring Method" option under Settings. The way I had it before, you got -52 points when a game started. -104 if the game involved 2 decks. Then you received +5 points for every card you placed on a foundation or removed from play. This is a common method used in many solitaire games I have played over the years.

But the old Just Solitaire had an incomplete system where I simply awarded a point for every card placed on a foundation or removed.

So the new setting will allow you to choose between both. I can also add more methods in the future. Any requests?

Of course, I would also like to add some sort of score tracking where you could see how well you have done in the past, and maybe even post your scores to a high score board. High score boards are tricky, as it is easy for players to cheat. After all, they are playing the game at home, on their computer. It is like a casino giving player slot machines to take home. People will find ways to cheat. Someone will come along, poke at the memory registers on their computer, and ruin the fun for the rest of us.
