Peg Solitaire - Another example of minimalist programming from the 'stephj' stable. The whole lot fits in one 17Kb executable.
The peg version of 'solitaire' as usually played with a wooden board and marbles. To play, hop one counter over another into an empty square on the far side either horizontally or vertically, and remove the counter that has been jumped over. Click or tap the counter you wish to move, and if it can be moved, all possible target positions for it will be highlighted in dark grey. Click or tap one of these targets and it will hop over and remove the 'jumped over' counter.
The object is to end up with one solitary counter in the middle of the board. Easier said than done, so there is a useful 'Undo' function allowing you to back out the previous move, all the way back to the starting pattern if you wish. Try that with the real marble version! There are fourteen patterns from which to start, the default being the 'Classic' starting position. All are solvable, start with the Cross if you are struggling!
Here's the clever stuff:- It will run on any ARM powered Pocket PC or Smartphone from 2003 onwards. (ARMv4 onwards, possibly even 2002, I haven't had chance to test it on this platform.) It will also handle any sized screen as it dynamically resizes to fit it. Portrait, landscape, square or HVGA. Who cares, bring it on! The HVGA compatibility should help quell the increasingly vociferous HD Mini owners, who are not too keen when Apps look a mess on their devices.
A Smartphone has no touch screen, and as such the white dot appears as a cursor. Move it with the D-Pad to the counter you wish to move and press the centre button. Possible targets appear dark grey as above, move the cursor to the target, and press the centre button again to hop over.
The program is aware when you run out of possible moves and will tell you so. Land the last counter in the middle hole to complete the puzzle.
On your device the card game Solitaire provided by Microsoft, is included as part of the standard OS. It exists as a .lnk to the real executable. This program is an .exe file of the same name but it identifies itself to Windows Mobile as PegSolitaire so that it will not conflict with the cards game.
It is possible to drop the executable into /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games and it will live next to the real MS Solitaire program link - See the StartMenu image. If on your device the card game is stored here as Solitaire.exe, rename the attached file to 'Peg Solitaire.exe' or whatever you would like.
Only the executable is required as all the DLL's it uses are already on your device.
Happy puzzling!
