Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-games

I enjoy playing Aisleriot and have a suggestion about the "Hint" button.

I try not to use this feature (solving it myself is the point!); however, it's annoying to press it only to be get the "take another card".

I would improve my enjoyment to get some indication that a useful hint is possible, perhaps by only enabling it when the game engine has something useful to suggest.
This way, it would be a "you've missed something" hint rather than the "just move X to Y" brute force hint.
