Checkers : implementation of the board game by the same name, also
known as draughts. Play against the computer on easy, medium or hard, or against
a friend. Save your game any time and come back to it later.
The Rules : Checkers is played on the dark squares only. A piece
may move one square at a time, diagonally. If one of your pieces is next to one
of your opponent’s pieces and the square beyond it is free, you
are required to
jump over the opponent’s piece.
The opponent’s piece is then removed from the board. It is possible to jump many
times in a row with the same piece, capturing several of your opponent’s pieces.
In the beginning, pieces can only move and jump forward. However, if a piece reaches
the far end of the board then it becomes a king. (In checkers, a king is usually
signified by stacking two checkers one on top of the other. In this program, the
king has a crown on it).
A king is allowed to move and jump diagonally backwards and forwards. Kings can
be captured like any other piece. A game is won when a player captures all his opponent's
men, or renders them unable to move. |
