So I'm gearing up to make an iPhone app out of Pyramid solitaire. Before I do that, I want to beef up the options a bit. So I have added two new preferences in the "Rules Prefs."
The first option is whether you have one or two waste piles. The Pyramid solitaire I grew up playing had only one. You dealt cards from the stock to the waste pile and could play that top waste pile card. But today many Pyramid solitaire games have a second pile. The card is dealt from the stock to the first waste pile. Then the next card is dealt there as well, but the previous card is moved to the second waste pile, where cards accumulate. Now you have the option to choose between the two settings.
I've also noticed that some Pyramid solitaire games are made easier by having a reserve of cards that can be played at any time. So the default is 0 reserve cards, which makes it like it was before. But you can have up to 7 cards.
Hope you like these additions to Pyramid solitaire. And yes, the iPhone app will be free just like the Klondike iPhone app is.
