Version 1.1 of The Ace of Penguins, a set of X11 solitaire
games, is available at:

http://www.delorie.com/store/ace

This package includes freecell, golf, mastermind, merlin,
minesweeper, pegged, solitaire, taipei, and thornq, plus a
solitaire toolkit so that you can write your own games. These games
are modelled after the Windows(tm) versions, with a number of
enhancements as requested by my wife 🙂 and a colorful “Linux-y”
theme.

Version 1.1 adds new games, enhances keyboard and automatic
play, and stabilizes the animations. It also uses GNU automake and
autoconf now.

The sources are released under the terms of the GNU GPL.
Pre-built binaries for various platforms are also available.
