| 15 | <h1><a name="C16"></a>Chapter 16: <a name="i0"></a>Pegs</h1> | ||
| 16 | <p> | ||
| 17 | A number of pegs are placed in holes on a board. You can remove a peg by jumping an adjacent peg over it (horizontally or vertically) to a vacant hole on the other side. Your aim is to remove all but one of the pegs initially present. | ||
| 18 | </p> | ||
| 19 | <p> | ||
| 20 | This game, best known as <a name="i1"></a>‘Peg Solitaire’, is possibly one of the oldest puzzle games still commonly known. | ||
| 21 | </p> | ||
| 22 | <h2><a name="S16.1"></a>16.1 <a name="i2"></a>Pegs controls</h2> | ||
| 23 | <p> | ||
| 24 | To move a peg, drag it with the mouse from its current position to its final position. If the final position is exactly two holes away from the initial position, is currently unoccupied by a peg, and there is a peg in the intervening square, the move will be permitted and the intervening peg will be removed. | ||
| 25 | </p> | ||
| 26 | <p> | ||
| 27 | Vacant spaces which you can move a peg into are marked with holes. A space with no peg and no hole is not available for moving at all: it is an obstacle which you must work around. | ||
| 28 | </p> | ||
| 29 | <p> | ||
| 30 | You can also use the cursor keys to move a position indicator around the board. Pressing the return key while over a peg, followed by a cursor key, will jump the peg in that direction (if that is a legal move). | ||
| 31 | </p> | ||
| 32 | <p> | ||
| 33 | (All the actions described in <a href="common.html#S2.1">section 2.1</a> are also available.) | ||

| 49 | Controls whether you are given a board of a standard shape or a randomly generated shape. The two standard shapes currently supported are ‘Cross’ and ‘Octagon’ (also commonly known as the English and European traditional board layouts respectively). Selecting ‘Random’ will give you a different board shape every time (but always one that is known to have a solution). | ||
