freecell

This is a FreeCell solitaire card game for MS-DOS written in C.

Prerequisites

Windows 9x (95, 98, ME) and 32-bit NT (2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10) operating systems will support most MS-DOS applications natively. For users with modern systems, I highly recommend using DOSBox.

Additionally, you will need Borland Turbo C 2.01, which is a C compiler for MS-DOS.

Installation

The following instructions assume a fresh install of DOSBox.

1. Create an enclosing directory (folder) for Turbo C and this repository. Give it the name root, or something similar. The directory structure should look like this:

   root
   ├── freecell
   └── TC
       ├── INCLUDE
       │   └── SYS
       └── LIB
   

2. Start DOSBox and enter the following commands:

   MOUNT C your/path/to/root
   SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\TC\
   C:
   CD C:\FREECELL\
   MAKE
   FREECELL.EXE

Controls
