User reviews

Ai not up to par

After not playing checkers for over a decade (and never being particularly good) I pretty easily crushed the ai on its hardest difficulty on my first try. I am unimpressed, and it’s not what I was looking for in a checkers app.

Also, I’m pretty sure the game itself is coded incorrectly as far as the rules go. It was my understanding that captures were mandatory - if you can capture one of your opponents pieces, you must. It’s a pretty important rule that lets you force a sacrifice to get an advantageous position. I attempted to do something to that effect early, and the AI did not take my piece - putting me in a bad place, but even with that mistake, I still won by a lot.
