+A number of pegs are placed in holes on a board. You can remove a
+peg by jumping an adjacent peg over it 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 \q{Peg Solitaire}, is possibly one of the
+oldest puzzle games still commonly known.

+
+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.
