Trianglitaire
=============

If you hadn't already worked it out, the title is a mish-mash of the words
'Triangle' and 'Solitaire'. Which pretty well explains what it is. I don't
expect this is the proper name for it, but there wasn't a name written on
the board I found lying about the house. For any Martians out there who
haven't played the game, you basically jump over marbles with other marbles,
taking away the one you jumped over, until there is only one left. In proper
Solitaire you are supposed to end up with the last marble in the hole which
was left empty at the start, but I don't think that is always possible in
this version. When you load it and click the icon bar icon, you will notice,
being an observant sort of person, that there isn't a hole left empty, so
when you drag the marbles, nothing happens. 'Aha' you will say, obviously I
have to click Menu and pick a start position, of which there will be four,
because there are really only four different sorts of hole on the board. So
once you have done that, you just drag the marbles about. It won't let you
do illegal moves, so you can't, for instance, jump over seven marbles at a
time by using a clever wavy action, because it isn't allowed.

P.S. It is possible from all four start points, by the way.
