- 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
