I feel you may have omitted one of the rules of Spider solitaire: every column must have a card in it before a new row is dealt. I am not sure if this is an official rule but both versions I played before this one required it. The versions were Spider Solitaire on the Windows XP operating system and the AisleRiot Solitaire version 3.10.2 on the Xubuntu operating system. I noticed in a Demo game that a new row of cards was being dealt without filling in the empty columns and tested it in regular play.
By not enforcing this rule, the 2-suit Spider solitaire is a little easier, I feel. This is because the player has the option of putting cards in all the columns or not. By the way, I absolutely loved this game once I changed the card deck from Oxygen Air to Teguillo Modern. I think you should change the description of the software package to explain that each card game is playable with over 2 billion deals, each of which is selectable. This is the reason I prefer KPatience once I played it. Is there a forum where I can write about your Spider solitaire? I could not find one at kde.org and I would like to promote your software and give advice about how to win and which deals are challenging. Thanks for the great software; it's an excellent product.
