Game of 9 Peg
==============

The object of the game 9 Peg is to move all of the coloured pegs from
one side of the board to the other side.

A peg is moved by touching down on a peg that has a valid move.  When
the pen is lifted, the peg will be moved.

Valid moves are:
a) moving a peg one space forward into an empty hole,
   and
b) jumping a peg forward over a single peg to land in an empty hole.

NOTE: All moves must always be forward, never backward.
      A good way to remember this is:  White to right, black to left.

The game ends when all of the pegs have been switched to the opposite
side, or no more valid moves remain.


Installation
============

To install 9 Peg onto your Pilot, run the INSTAPP.EXE program which
resides in the same directory as the Pilot Desktop software.  This
program will allow you to specify a .PRC file which will be downloaded
to the Pilot during the next hotsync.


Background
==========

This product was developed using the GNU PalmPilot Developer Tools
v0.5.0.  Much thanks goes to the authors of this toolkit which
includes an extremely helpful tutorial.  Thanks also goes to those
people who made their source code freely available, specifically the
author of Ataxx.  Without these development tools and samples of
source code, this game may not have been created.

The game of 9 Peg was developed and tested on PalmOS v2.x It was
written with backward compatibility in mind and should also work on
Pilot OS v1.x.  If it does not, please send me an email so that I can
work to resolve the problem.

I hope you enjoy playing the game.
