## infrequently-asked questions
**Is dragging cards buggy?**
You don't need to hold down the mouse button when dragging a card.
Just click once to pick up and click again to release.
**Is this harder than other solitaire games?**
Probably, yes. 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. (Also, sorry!)
**Will you add support for my preferred solitaire variant?**
Probably not, but maybe. I am considering adding support for [Sawayama Solitaire](https://zachtronics.fandom.com/wiki/Sawayama_Solitaire). Depending on how that goes I may consider adding support for other variants as well.
