An idea for your next attempt
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.
The objective of a round
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Making your moves
- Select a peg and an empty hole two squares away.
- Jump horizontally or vertically over one peg, removing it.
- Plan so remaining pegs can still interact.
- Undo repairs a deadlock.

A useful example
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
