  1. Peg Solitaire with Depth First Search By: Iris Garcia

  2. Peg Solitaire • Single-player board game with pegs that can come in many different shapes such as: • Cross • Square • Pyramid • Triangle • The purpose of the game is to eliminate all pegs by jumping over them, similar to the game of Checkers.

  3. Peg Board The simplest peg solitaire design is the triangular peg board, often referred to as the “Cracker Barrel” design. This design is similar to an equilateral triangle where each edge has the same number of pegs, and each row has one more peg than the row above it. The Board can be represented as a tree in order to implement how to traverse it.

  4. Depth First Search Algorithm DepthFirstSearch(Board b, Peg start) { If (Grandchild.isEmpty()) Jump(); updateBoard(); //updates empty peg, location, etc. else backtrack(); // backtrack to previous and/or try right child }

This source offers background information on several different techniques in solving Peg Solitaire. It also includes different representations of Peg Solitaire other than the "Cracker Barrel" design. It also implies that the Depth First Search as one of the most effective solutions. Matos, Armando B. "Depth-first search solves Peg Solitaire."
