- The Game:
- Puzzler is a Windows 3.0 Application written in MS Visual Basic
- (Requiring VBRUN100.DLL). The system hides any combination of the six
- game pegs (it may use same color more than once). Guesses (educated or not)
- are made by dragging the colored "pegs" from the Peg Bin to a "hole" in the
- current turn area. Pegs may be changed as often as you like... when you are
- ready to have your guess evaluated press the button. Guesses are evaulated
- as follows: The right color in the right position gets a Black peg. The
- right color in the wrong position gets a white peg. Wrong color, wrong
- position... no peg (grey).
- This program uses any one of four different evaluation routines (this
- was necessary to keep me from cheating, by knowing the evaluation sequence!)
- I frustration gets the best of you, the "Wimp Out" button will display
- the puzzle solution. (It will also add the maximum number of guesses to your
- average.)

- Have fun, live long and prosper, may the force be with you, long live the
- shire!
