Peg Solitaire
Goal of the game
Jump with pegs so only one remains on game board
Rules
You must jump over other pegs to empty place. Only up / down/ left / right directions of jump are allowed.
Simple rules, simple goal, but quite difficult to find solution.
I am curious who will reach the 1 peg on board first ;)

Petr,
I'm not able to understand how to start, sorry.
I select with left mouse and it is ok. Than I right click but always get a red indication saying "Jump OVER peg to EMPTY space in left/right/up/down direction"

Hi Eros,
I am sorry for brief explanation.
I attached explanative image to first post - you should right click on orange "plate", and one peg must be between the one you select and the empty space.
Petr
EDIT Tested on Intel and there were no problems

Hi Eros,
my record 4 so far. Interesting on this game is that it can be solved both using brute force and smarter methods for artificial intelligence.
I will show "how" once I have little more time, it is quite interesting task.

Nice game Petr, well made! :eusaclap:
Petr, I love this game. I got hooked on it when I was in the 8th grade, we got to make this game in wood shop class and it is just so much fun.
I got 3 only once so far and 4 once, many times 5 :)
I know it can be done, 1 is possible as I have done it with the wood board one long ago, so know it is possible to keep motivated.
Good luck all players
and thanks Petr!!
here's a solution http://www.chessandpoker.com/peg-solitaire-solution.html
secret is to get the wood board and play it in reverse(start with one peg in center)

Hi Dana_62,
that is smart strategy, did you succeeded using this approach?
Taking photo of each stage could lead to easy victory ... but it is kind of cheating :)
