CHECKERS INTERFACE BY JOHN CHAMDIMBA

INSTRUCTIONS:

Ø  Load each and every part of the JGrasp java files into the compiler.

Ø  Run the program and you will see the interface of checkers/draught

MAIN OBJECTIVES

The primary aim of the interface was to see how to draw graphics using 2D Graphics and also how to import pictures into your drawings.

NB: the pieces on the checkers do not move but in my next chess publish I will publish the whole game where you can play either by the computer or with your friend

Process

After running the program this is the checkers interface which will be displayed on your screen.

HERE IS THE SOURCE CODE OF THE CHECKERS INTERFACE PROGRAM WRITTEN IN JAVA COMPUTER PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
