Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-games
Gentlemen,
I know this is trivial but here is the problem that I noticed, There is
no security problems and the program doesn't crash but it is faulty
nonetheless. I have been playing "AsileRiot Solitare - Klondike" and I
noticed that the cards as dealt were not random it the least. (Yes, I
know about random number generators and how they are not truly random, I
have an advanced degree in Computer Science.) If you play a few times
you will notice that the cards dealt are always very close to each
other.
For example: if an eight is at the top of a stack, there is a very good
chance that at least two of the remaining eights are also at the top of a
stack. There also is a high probability that sevens or nines will also be at
the top of a stack. I think you need to work on your card dealing routine. I
suggest that a good random number generator be used. If the other card games
use this same card dealing routine, they also will be affected.
best wishes
William Stanley
