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
