🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so real talk: Checkers is a FLTK-based version of the game of checkers 🫶

the game goes down on an 8x8 board, and each player starts with 12 pieces, aka "checkers", sitting on opposite sides of the board. and listen — the computer plays the white checkers in this version of the game. no cap, the bot is your opp 💀

the object of the game is to remove all of your opponents' pieces. simple as that. on each move you move one of your pieces diagonally forward, either a single space, or by "jumping" an adjacent piece 👑

your opponents' pieces get removed by jumping them — and yes, you can make multiple jumps in a single turn, go off queen 🌈

🚨 and here's the rule that catches everyone: You must jump if you can! like. you don't get a choice. the board said jump, so you jump. periodt.

and if a piece reaches the other side of the board?? it gets converted to a "king" 👑 which can move both forwards AND backwards. main character energy fr fr.
