'Eights' or 'Les Huits' is a patience in the Pan Book of Card Games. I think it is one of the best: it can come out half the time if you take every opportunity to order the cards in sequences, and it can seem impossible but come out when the last card is dealt.

Ther toolset supports ANSI-art patiences in terminals with mouse and keyboard input. It works on MacOS, Linux, and the WSL Bash shell in Windows.

I added 'blueMoon' and 'squiggles' patiences to extend the toolset in cardTools.cpp. 'blueMoon' uses a 2D array of sites with suits running horizontally. 'squiggles' uses columns with mixed face up and face down cards.
