.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
\fICheckers\fR is a FLTK-based version of the game of checkers.
|
||
|
|
The game is played on an 8x8 board with each player starting with
|
||
|
|
12 pieces or "checkers" on opposite sides of the board. The
|
||
|
|
computer plays the white checkers in this version of the game.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
The object of the game is to remove all of your opponents pieces.
|
||
|
|
Players move one of their pieces diagonally forward on each move,
|
||
|
|
either a single space or by "jumping" an adjacent piece. Your
|
||
|
|
opponents pieces are removed by jumping them - you can make
|
||
|
|
multiple jumps in a single turn.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
If a piece reaches the other side of the board, it is converted
|
||
|
|
to a "king" which can move both forwards and backwards.
