Potete usare l'applicazione in 2 modi diversi. Come semplice scacchiera che vi permetterà di giocare con un'altra persona che avete li vicino o giocare contro l'applicazione. Se decidete di scegliere la modalità 2 giocatori, l'applicazione controllerà che siano rispettate tutte le regole della Dama come descritte nella sezione Regole del Gioco, tranne una, quella che dice che toccato un pezzo poi dovete muovere quello. Questa regola è stata volutamente non rispettata per consentire ai neofiti di vedere per ogni mossa possibile i possibili spostamenti o le possibili prese. Quindi finché non confermate la mossa, alzando il dito sulla posizione finale, potete sempre decidere di cambiare mossa. Se invece decidete per la modalità ad un giocatore giocherete contro l'applicazione. Se scegliate il colore bianco, come da regola, giocherete per primi altrimenti giocherà per prima l'applicazione. Per facilitare la scelta del livello vi spiego cosa significa livello. Il livello è quante mosse avanti l'applicazione guarda per decidere quale mossa fare, quindi: livello 0 è prima di fare la mossa; livello 1 è dopo fatta la sua mossa; livello 2 è dopo fatto la vostra mossa in conseguenza al livello 1.. e così via. L'applicazione crea tutte le possibili mosse per tutti i livelli fino al livello che avete impostato, fa tutte foto della scacchiera e decide la mossa migliore. Voi capite che al livello 2, che è il livello minimo impostabile, l'applicazione guarderà fino alla prima vostra mossa. Ma se la velocità del vostro device ve lo consente, arrivati al livello 4, prevederà fino a 2 vostre mosse, al livello 6 fino a 3 e così via. Se arriverete al livello 5 o 6 e non siete dei professionisti della Dama potrete già farvi delle divertenti partite e non sempre vincerete voi. BUON DIVERTIMENTO !!! N.B: Per evitare sorprese durante il gioco vi consiglio di leggere bene le regole di presa che sono quelle ufficiali applicate nei tornei.

Gioco Dama GP's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
