Pegs

The game Pegs for the TI-83+ graphing calculator, ported to the browser. I’m still working on this port, but you can play what I have so far on GitHub.

The original Pegs was part of PuzzPack by Detached Solutions, and its main developer was Fred Coughlin. This port is by Rory O’Kane.

I already wrote a complete port of pegs to Adobe Flash in 2006, but it is no longer published anywhere (it was on GeoCities). Now I’m porting that port to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I already have all image assets the game needs (which I reproduced by hand, pixel-by-pixel), and ActionScript 2 code that reproduces all behavior of the original game. However, the old code needs refactoring – it uses too many comments and not enough constants and functions.

See also Pegs in PuzzleScript, my completed port of Pegs to the PuzzleScript engine, which runs in the browser. That version has original graphics and sound; this version tries to reproduce the graphics and features of Pegs exactly as they were on the graphing calculator.
