- Peg Puzzle
-
- This is an implementation of a peg-jumping puzzle I used to play with at
- my grandmother's house. Since then I have seen other puzzles like this
- with different board configurations. This is the version with 15 holes
- arranged in an equilateral triangle.
-
- The idea of the game is to jump pegs over one another until only one peg
- remains. A peg can only be jumped over another peg, into an empty hole.
-
- This program requires a two-button mouse (no keyboard interface is provided).
- To begin the game, use the right button to click on a peg to be removed.
- Now use the left button to drag a peg over another peg to the vacated hole.
- This removes the peg that was jumped over. Continue this until only one
- peg remains. An "Undo" option is provided since that's how I usually solved
- the puzzle as a boy: work myself into a corner, put a few pegs back and
- try something else.
-
- This program is being released as an experiment in shareware: if you like it
- please send $1.00 to me at the address given in the About dialog box. (see
- Game, About...) Thanks.
-
- This is my first Windows program, and I'm interested in any comments you care
- to make. I can be reached at: owaddell@copper.cs.indiana.edu
