Learning-Go

I decided to learn Golang by creating a solver for the Cracker Barrel Peg Game

Running

From the Root Directory, run the following command:

go run main.go

You will be prompted to enter a 15 letter string of the characters 0 and 1; 0 means empty, 1 means there is a peg. The 15 character stream maps to the Cracker Barrel Triangle like this:

        [ 0]
      [ 1] [ 2]
    [ 3] [ 4] [ 5]
  [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9]
[10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

Enter the 15 characters of the board you would like solved:

josephnormandev/Learning-Go~$ go run main.go
Enter a Board: (15 characters long)
...............
111100110111111

Then press enter!

Results

The results for this board are pretty interesting; it leaves two pegs on opposite ends of the board. Weird!

* is a peg, - is an empty slot. Round 0 is the starting state of the board from your input string.
