Making selections and moves
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.

Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
