Author Message Marcel von Gunten (Marcel) New Solitaire Player Username: Marcel Post Number: 3 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Wednesday, February 16, 2005 - 7:25 am:    PGM is missing something like an autoplay (call it autofinish) option that becomes available once all the tiles are uncovered. It would do the trivial cleanup of the current game and allow me to quickly move on to the next one.

That feature already exists, "hidden in plain sight", as they say. This is 'AutoMove', which is the button on the toolbar just right of the two snapshot buttons. It can also be invoked with the 'Action|AutoMove' menu option, or simply by pressing [Ctrl][M]. I am sure that some features are missing from PGMJ, but this is not one of them.

I didn't know what I was doing... The automove option/button does not exist in the "tile matching" group, only in "solitaire", that's why I didn't see it. Why is that?

Why is that? Moving tiles to foundations in Solitaire naturally lends itself to AutoPlay/AutoMove, while tile matching does not. I have added your suggestion of adding a similar option to the list of features to be considered for the next version. However, I think that it is unlikely to be implemented, as it unbalances the game, especially in climb mode. Hint: Once you reach the point where victory is assured, liberal use of the hint features of PGMJ can remove the final tiles quite rapidly.
