Below is the function InitializeBoard() that sets up a new game board: For the game's purposes, true represents that a peg is present and false represents an empty hole. A BitArray manages a compact array of bit values, which are represented as Booleans, where true indicates that the bit is on (1) and false indicates the bit is off (0). The backbone of the game is the board, which is a List that contains BitArrays. The source code in the project is very well commented, and should be easy to follow by adding some breakpoints on the mouse events. I just want to give a real basic overview of the code. Now, my game works even better, and if I ever want to add more rows to the board, I can without any code changes. I figured that this would be very helpful, so I took his logic and applied it to my game. It was very informative, and he had even written an application in C++ that would generate all the possible solutions to the game. I came across an article written by Daniel O'Brien. So, what I decided to do was search Google for the game logic. I would have to go in and add every new move to the list, and it would get real big very quickly. This seemed fine at the beginning, but what if I wanted to be able to add another row on the fly. I had a huge switch statement that listed every possible move, and when a player would make a move, it would check to see if it was on the list. I created the whole game and had it working, but I knew that my game logic was really sloppy. I knew that I had to create a bunch of pegs, and that the player needed to be able to drag a peg from one hole to another. I really didn't do that much planning for this. I thought it would be cool if I could create this game from scratch. Well, the other day, I was eating at Cracker Barrel, and I was playing their peg game on the table. Years later, I made Tic Tac Toe using C#. As I was creating it, I learned so many different things, and it also got me very interested in making games. I had never created any games before, nor had I ever been exposed to any game logic. Gradually work into some harder problems.Back when I was in college, we had to create the old game of Nim as a console application in C++. In the next section, we'll start off with some easy problems, then Here are some pictures of the starts of some other jumps. Jump is the jump that starts in c3 and ends in g3. We'll also use coordinates to describe jumps. Sometimes it's helpful to have a way to describe the holes. Macintosh version: This is a program I wrote myself about 1992. Winarc is part of Parrish's Peanut Software for Windows. He has both the British cross and 15-hole triangular version of peg solitaire in his Winarc package. Window's version: This was written by Rick Parris of Exeter Academy. You can also get computer versions of peg solitaire. However, pennies can be hard on the fingers if you play a lot. If use pennies for markers, you get a board for 15 cents. One of the cheapest ways to make a board is to print the empty board Is the "cross", or British version of rectangular peg solitaire. Oriental Trading Company sells a small (4.5 inches in diameter) version of Chinese Checkers for $1.80, or a larger (10 inches in diameter) for $6.Įnd sells a nice wooden board-one side is Chinese Checkers, and the other Just use the top 15 holes in one of the points. If you have a Chinese Checkers Board, then you have a triangular Oriental Trading Company sells a similar board for $1.50. With golf tees for pegs that sells for $2. For example, the Cracker Barrel chain sells a wooden board There are several restaurant chains in the U.S. You can't make any jumps in either of these pictures. These two pictures both show jumps that you can make. A peg that is jumped is removed-just like in checkers.Jumps can be made either on the diagonal or the horizontal lines.There must be a space for the jumping peg to land in.Every jump must be a jump of a peg over a neighboring peg.There are just 5 rules for the triangular board. We're going to talk about the version of peg solitaire that is played University and National Science Foundation
