-# mcfreecell
-
-`mcfreecell` on `leg-py1.5.2` is a terminal-native FreeCell build aimed at old Python and old curses environments.
-
-This branch keeps the implementation within a Python-1.5.2-friendly subset and favors compatibility over modern terminal features.
-
-## Features
-
-- FreeCell rules with 8 tableau columns, 4 free cells, and 4 foundations
-- keyboard-driven curses interface
-- visual stack selection mode
-- single-step undo for completed moves
-- lightweight `?` hint system
-- ASCII-only suit tags for old terminals and fonts
-- compatibility fallbacks for weak or incomplete curses implementations
-
-## Controls
-
-- `Arrow keys` / `h j k l` - move cursor
-- `v` - enter or exit tableau selection mode
-- `y` - pick up selected card or stack
-- `p` - drop held card or stack
-- `u` - undo the last completed move
-- `Enter` / `Space` - alternate pick up / drop
-- `?` - show a suggested move
-- `f` - quick move selected card to a free cell
-- `d` - quick move selected card to foundation
-- `Esc` - cancel held move
-- `q` - quit
-
-## Suits
-
-- Debian (`Deb`)
-- Red Hat (`RHt`)
-- Solaris (`Sol`)
-- HP-UX (`HPx`)
-
-These are split into the two FreeCell color groups as:
-
-- red group: Debian, Red Hat
-- black-equivalent group: Solaris, HP-UX
-
-On older terminals, the non-red group may render as blue, cyan, or plain monochrome depending on curses support.
-
-## Running
-
-Run with whatever Python interpreter is available on the target machine:
-
-```sh
-python linux-freecell.py
-```
-
-## Terminal Notes
-
-Terminal and curses behavior can vary significantly on older systems.
-
-- `xterm` generally gives the most reliable screen redraw behavior for this branch.
-- Older `konsole` builds, including KDE 2.x-era versions, may show redraw artifacts or ghosting until the screen is resized.
-- The game includes several repaint fallbacks for weaker curses implementations, but some VT100-style emulator quirks are still terminal-specific.
-
-## Status
-
-This branch is intended as a playable legacy-friendly FreeCell build for old Unix-like systems and older Python environments.
