Instructions:
I always wondered if the peg game could be solved just by guessing random moves enough times.
Turns out it can! There is no complicated logic. Each move is just a random guess.
- You can click on any of the pegs to set it as the open hole before the game starts.
- Press the "Make a Random Move" button to execute a single random move.
- Once there are no moves left the results will be logged into the table and the game board will be reset.
You can also enter the number of games to play, press the "Play Games" button and that many games will quickly be played.
The results of each game will be logged to the table. Any games that get down to 2 pegs will be flagged as yellow and any games that actually make it to a single peg will be flagged with green so they are easy to spot.
The moves are shown as a list of three numbers the coorespond to the peg nubmers.
- First number = where the jumping peg is moving from.
- Second number = where the jumping peg is moving to.
- Third number = the peg that is being jumped and removed
