In addition to not having an "undo" feature, Kodiak +does not check to see if a solitaire deal is winnable or not, meaning +that some games would probably be impossible to win no matter how you +played them. + +**Can I make the game bigger?** + +Many emulators support a zoom option. For example, `uxnemu` and +`uxn11` both use the F1 key to toggle zoom levels. + +The game size is intentionally small to support older platforms with +lower screen resolution, such as the Nintendo DS. + +**I won the game and the cards didn't bounce!** + +That isn't a question.

I am considering adding support for [Sawayama Solitaire](https://zachtronics.fandom.com/wiki/Sawayama_Solitaire).
