Bridge Calculator

Bridge Calculator is free software written in C++, using Lua and FLTK2 to provide a graphical utility for solving problems in the Bridge card game.

Bridge Calculator quickly solves the double dummy problem, imports deals from PBN, BBO .lin files, and has both text-based and graphical user interfaces.

The software also includes a deals generator, and an API for the double dummy solver, which can be useful for programmers who want to add it in their apps.

Bridge Calculator is a platform-independent application that supports the Linux, Microsoft Windows and any other POSIX compliant operating system.

What is new in this release:

• deal: first release (lua scriptable, paraller deal generator)

• GUI, SDUI: symbols rendering has been fixed (in some Linux distro)
• all: 64-bit Windows build (experimental)
• all: dependencies have been reduced: boost chrono isn't required an more, rest of the boost libs. are staticaly linked
