This is a Java implementation of the solitaire game poker squares. It's a simple game, really. You draw 25 cards, one at a time, and place each one anywhere in the 5 by 5 grid. When you're done, you will have formed 10 poker hands: One for each row, and one for each column. The main diagonals do not count. The order of the cards within each row/column is not important. The two cards of a pair don't have to be next to each other, as long as they are in the same row or column. Similarly for other hands- if the hand can be formed by any arrangement of the cards in that row or column, then it will be. You earn points based on the hands you have formed, according to the scale printed to the right of the card grid. To start a new game or to reset a hopelessly bad game, just press the 'Start Over' button. A score of 200 is considered a winning game. Good luck!!!
