Do
you get bored with things pretty quickly? Need to make a game inside of the
game? Have you ever played “free cell” on
the computer?
It is a backward form of solitaire that has four “free
spaces” or “cells” that let you temporarily place cards in a holding area
while you stack the cards on top of the board in four neatly ordered piles.
The computer will make moves for you if those moves have no bearing
upon decisions you make. With the circumstances right, you might have only
three or four cards on the top four stacks when the computer will finish the
game.
Make it a sub-game to see if you can have the fewest cards “stacked”
when the computer takes over. The game
has some logic, some skill, and a lot of luck. The idea that you could have
no (or few) cards in their piles when the computer takes over depends on a large part, if
the key cards are buried in the right place.
It adds a dimension to the game
even if the logic is somewhat predisposed.
I took somewhat of a similar eye to the Grand Illinois Trail bike trip. It
needed some new dimensions to be set around it. -things that would make it
unique and more of a challenge, so I made up some "rules." This will not only explain some of the
planning, but also some of the decisions made along the way.
