Let's Play Checkers

Play the Game!!

Technology

• This project was coded in HTML/CSS/JavaScript
• JS Classes, Methods, Functions and other JS fun stuff was invloved in creating a really sleak and minimalistic checkers game.

Object:

Remove all of your opponent's checkers from the gameboard by capturing them.

How to play?

• Player 1 will go first.
• On your turn, move any one of your checkers by the movement rules described below. -- Click on piece to be moved then click on the space that you would like to move the piece to.
• After you move one checker, your turn is over.
• The game continues with players alternating turns.

Movement Rules:

• Your piece will move diagonally forward, toward your opponent's side of the gameboard. Note: After a checker becomes a "King," it can move diagonally forward or backward.
• Move your checker one space diagonally, to an open adjacent square; or jump one or more checkers diagonally to an open square sdjacent to the checker you jumped. When you jump over an opponent's checker, you capture it.
• If all squares adjacent to your checker are occupied, your checker is blocked and cannot move.

Capturing an Opponent's Checker

• If you jump an opponent's checker, you capture it. It will be removed from the gameboard, and your captured pieces counter will increase by 1 per checker jumped.

Becoming a "King"

• As soon as one of your checkers reached the first row on your opponent's side of the gameboard, it becomes a "King". The "King" will be identified by a Crown on the checker. This "King" can not move forward or backward on the gameboard.

Expanded Game Play

• A vertical jump function is included as an option for expanded game play to increase the Player vs Player difficulty.
