Solitaire simulator in search of the optimal strategy: current record is 8.590%

Klondike3-Simulator is a Java project that simulates Klondike Solitaire to find better play strategies.

The core goal is to maximize the win rate, and the current record is 8.590%. In the previous version it was 7.915%, and the improvement came just from changing the order in which cards are processed.

• 1.0: A very simple play style using only s2g, b2g, b2b, s2b
• 1.1: Same play style, but changed to make shuffles reproducible via a seed
• 1.2: Changed the processing order from {s2g, b2g, b2b, s2b} to {s2g, b2b, b2g, s2b}, improving the win rate from 7.915% → 8.590%

Build and run instructions are also provided.

• Build with ant
• Run with java -jar simulator.jar
• Options: --one, --three, --attempts, --debug, --seed

As an example, it guides running --three --attempts 1000000 --seed 1111 for one million games to compare against the current record. The README also includes examples of actual game progress logs and board state output, showing how the simulator records its search process and progress.
