Acme (solitaire)

Acme is a Canfield type of solitaire game using 1 deck of playing cards.

Layout

Acme has 4 Tableau Stacks of 1 card each, and they build down in suit. There are 4 Foundations that build up in suit. The Reserve Pile contains 13 cards which can be played onto the Foundations or Tableau Stacks. The deck turns up 1 card at a time.

Rules

Only the top card of a Tableau stack can be moved. These cards can be moved to a Foundation or onto another Tableau stack. The Tableau builds down in suit, and the Foundations build up in suit. Cards from the Reserve automatically fill empty spaces. Any card can fill empty Tableau spaces after the Reserve is empty. There is only one redeal allowed in this game, so only 2 passes through the Deck are allowed.

Tips & Strategies

Rather than using the cards from the deck, try to use all of the reserve cards first. Only two passes are allowed, so use the deck wisely.

Acme II

In this variation, whole tableaux piles can be moved rather than just the top card.

Disco (software)

Disco is an application for Mac OS X developed by Austin Sarner, Jasper Hauser and Jason Harris.

The software is an optical disc authoring utility, which allows users to burn CDs and DVDs with multisession support, disc duplication, burning VIDEO_TS folders, disc spanning as well as a searchable disc index, dubbed Discography. Disco also features an interactive "3D smoke" animation which is visible when burning. This smoke responds to microphone input, as well as mouse input, causing perturbations in the smoke effect.

Disco was designed as a low-cost alternative to the popular Mac OS X optical disc authoring application, Roxio Toast.

Since its launch in 2007, Disco was available as shareware, requiring users to purchase a license after burning seven discs with it on a single computer. In July 2011, a free license code to activate the application was published on its official website, effectively making the application available as freeware.

Disco (film)

Disco is a French film directed by Fabien Onteniente, which was released on 2 April 2008, with Franck Dubosc as "Didier Travolta" in the main role.

The main subject of this movie is the rebirth of disco music at the mid-2000s in a town of France. The film is at first humorous, with a lot of clichés about Saturday Night Fever, but it doesn't disparage the disco culture at any time. In fact, all the people involved in this film are fans of disco, dance and funk music.

The soundtrack to the film contains a cover version of the Bee Gees' "Night Fever" performed by Australian singer and songwriter Tina Arena.
