About

Trinity Solitaire is a freeware single-player card game written in 1995 by Bryan Horling, then at Trinity College, and distributed through Info-Mac. Its own author bills it modestly as a simple solitaire game with support for swappable card and background styles, scalable windows, asynchronous sound, and (he admits with a grin) cheating.What it offersThe game implements a straightforward solitaire layout aimed at casual play. Cards and backgrounds can be changed to suit taste, and the playing window can be resized to fit different monitor configurations.Sound and quality of lifeAsynchronous sound playback keeps audio cues from blocking input on the slower Macs of the era, and the author included a built-in cheat facility for players who want to bend the rules.OriginsThe submission email to Info-Mac is dated May 1995 and credits bhorling@trincoll.edu, placing Trinity Solitaire firmly in the mid-1990s wave of small academic Mac freeware.LicenceTrinity Solitaire is released as freeware, with the original BinHex-encoded archive preserved in the Info-Mac game/crd collection.
