Upstream code has been moved to its separate subdirectory and future syncs can be done by simply copying over the new sources.

Chapter 16: Pegs

+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. +

+This game, best known as ‘Peg Solitaire’, is possibly one of the oldest puzzle games still commonly known. +

16.1 Pegs controls

+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. +

+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. +

+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). +

+(All the actions described in section 2.1 are also available.) +

16.2 Pegs parameters

+These parameters are available from the ‘Custom...’ option on the ‘Type’ menu. +

+Width, Height +: +Size of grid in holes. +
+Board type +: +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). +
