This game is based on an enjoyable board game that uses marbles arranged in a triangular formation. The game is played by jumping adjacent marbles into an open space either horizontally or vertically, removing the marble jumped over. This particular version is my favorite and I have spent hours playing it and I hope you do too.
These are based on a brut force perl script that solves these sort of puzzles and is available on request.
I am using Joe Hewitt's iUI toolkit which has been a great help in developing this iPhone app.

Played by jumping adjacent marbles into an open space either horizontally or vertically, removing the marble jumped over. Marbles and spaces must be next to each other either horizontally or diagonally. Repeat until there are no more moves available. Hint: If you are new to the game, you may want to turn on the "Auto-Show Moves" option in the Settings. This option highlights all available moves automatically before you make a move.
Your score depends on the number of marbles left on the board at the end of the game. See chart below for scores and ratings.
