Roadmap

• Have a button Start that sets up all checkers on the board.

• Ability for each user to move their checkers to the allowed tiles.

• Block users from moving opponent's checkers.

• Check for the winner when one of the players don't have any moves or checkers left.

• Keep track the winning score for the players.

• Show messages about number of checkers left and a total winning score.

• (stretch) Have move tips for players - the tiles where they can possibly move.

• (stretch) Add a 'King' option: When a piece reaches a space in the row on the opposite side of the board (the “King Me” row), its player picks up the piece and crowns it by twisting its base counter-clockwise, then sets it back on its space. It is now a King! Kings are move powerful than pieces because they can move diagonally forward and backwards. Kings may combine jumps in several directions–forward and backward–on the same turn.

• (stretch) Add a jumping move option: A piece makes a jump by diagonally leaping over one of the opponent’s pieces and landing on the empty space on the other side (there must be an empty space to land on). Multiple jumps are allowed on a single turn. When a piece is jumped (“captured”), it is removed from the board and is now out of play.
