Checkers-with-AI

Description

Checkers was a first project that I made in my first year of university. It has been really close to my heart. In this project I tried to make a game that is not only a game but also a game that is fun to play. The code is completely new from the scratch. The logic is pretty simple and the game is fun to play.

Dependencies

Python3.6 or above and a computer that can run it.

How to play

Simply enter the coordinates of the board and the piece you want to move. The terminal will show you the board like this, with some extra information.

Now you have to give the moves you want to play. For example I want to move the piece from (5,3) (5th row and 3rd column according to the board) to (4,4). I will write each of them in order and when the I have to stop simply write q (short form for quit) in the input.

Enter your move dear human.
