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. +</p> +<p> +This game, best known as <a name="i1"></a>‘Peg Solitaire’, is possibly one of the oldest puzzle games still commonly known. +</p> +<h2><a name="S16.1"></a>16.1 <a name="i2"></a>Pegs controls</h2> +<p> +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. +</p> +<p> +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. +</p> +<p> +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). +</p> +<p> +(All the actions described in <a href="common.html#S2.1">section 2.1</a> are also available.) +</p> +<h2><a name="S16.2"></a>16.2 <a name="i3"></a>Pegs parameters</h2> +<p> +These parameters are available from the ‘Custom...’ option on the ‘Type’ menu. +</p> +<dl><dt> +<em>Width</em>, <em>Height</em> +</dt> +<dd> +Size of grid in holes. +</dd> +<dt> +<em>Board type</em> +</dt> +<dd> +Controls whether you are given a board of a standard shape or a randomly generated shape.
