checkers's Issues

Illegal Jumps

If your move opens up a jump for yourself, it allows you to make that jump in the same turn (forces you even)

Tutorial

No Piece Forced to Jump

No piece is forced to jump

Two AI Difficulty Levels

Make two separate AI difficulty levels.

Illegal Jumps

If one piece moves and opens up a jump for another piece, the player is forced to make that jump, despite it being illegal.

Multiple Moves

If it is possible for a player to jump an opponent's piece, then the player is forced to move even if they already took another piece.

AI Can Do Weird Moves

This can be related to three things:

1. The move checking isn't 100% bulletproof. For example, if you don't check both the start and end squares, then you might have a piece jump around the board.
2. The continue jumping method I think is wrong and needs to be fixed.
3. The alpha beta algorithm might be missing something. For example, the value of the board might depend on which player is evaluating the board.

AI move too fast

Add a delay to AI moves so they user can see what is happening (maybe 1 or 2 seconds?)

Invisible Kings
