Peg Pals Pro for iPhone is the only puzzle game of its kind on the app store. Using artificial intelligence methodology, it creates thousands of solvable peg solitaire puzzles such as those seen at Cracker Barrel restaurants. Providing numerous options for game play, the object is to reduce the puzzle to a single peg by successively jumping a peg over an adjacent peg and into an empty location.
Peg Pals Pro also teaches the user how to solve any puzzle move by move.
The initial release is on sale for a limited time.
A puzzle consists of the classic triangular board with 15 peg locations (such as those commonly seen in the Cracker Barrel restaurant). The object is to reduce the puzzle to a single peg by successively jumping a peg over an adjacent peg and into an empty location. Puzzles can vary in difficulty from requiring about 30 seconds to solve, to much more complex.
What's special about Peg Pals is that it does not restrict the user to a single-peg removed puzzle, but rather generates random but always solvable puzzles with varying number of pegs removed.
As an option, puzzles may require that the final peg be in a specific spot. The user also has an option to use a timer and the option to show a solvable indicator that turns pink when the user errs and there is no longer a solution for the current puzzle.
Peg Pals also uses artificial intelligence search methodology to analyze positions and can tell the user how many solutions there are to a given puzzle and which moves are best in a given position.
The game allows for unlimited hints and the app will show you, move-by-move, how to solve any puzzle that you like. This makes the app great for both playing and learning how to solve any such puzzle.
The game play is smooth, fluid, and nicely animated. The pieces resemble smiley faces that beam when they are about to jump, or show horror when they are about to be jumped.
Peg Pals Pro contains full documentation of all its features.
