Tripeaks Solitaire Solver 73k

A brute force solver for Microsoft Tripeaks solitaire written in javascript. The solver can provide a "best moves" list (the first set of moves found that removes the most cards from the board) for unsolvable games, and games-in-progress (when you don't already know all the cards).

A live demo is available at tripeaks.73k.us where you can input cards and get solutions. The same files published there are available in this repo's dist directory.

This began as a fork of Courtney Pitcher's project, and I'm grateful for the solving algorithm & inspiration.

Notes

  • Unsolvable games can take 6 or more minutes to solve, so be patient.
  • Per Courtney Pitcher, "This is probably quite a poor implementation." Please don't fault either of us, he was teaching himself javascript, and I'm just having fun.
  • The HTML+JS interface is built with Vite, Alpine.js, Bootstrap, and some free customized SVG playing cards. Linting & formatting is included.
