✨ 6x6 Checkers 🎮

This project is all in one file (main.cpp).

Made with

This is a simple 6x6 game of checkers. The game goes as follows:

• First: Ask the red player to select a piece to move.
• Next, make sure that they have selected a valid piece
• Then, request the position they would like to move the piece. (while making sure that this new position is valid)
• In addition, I gave the player the option to pass their turn in case their piece has no valid places to move.
• After the Red Player’s turn is over, validate that they do not have the amount of points to win and print the game board.
• The black piece player follows the same steps as above, alternating turns until a winner has been found.

2 Running the Program

$  g++ -o game main.cpp

This will create and executable called game.exe

You can run the executable by either:

- using the command below:

    $ ./game

                    or 

- by opening the executable file itself

3 Gameplay

This game follows the same rules as checkers but with minor differences.

The differences between the game are as follows:

⚡ This new version of checkers is played on a 6x6 board instead of 8x8

⚡ Pieces will be numbered “1” or “2,” only pieces with the same number can jump each other

⚡A player cannot jump more than one piece on a given turn

⚡ Players earn points for jumping, first player to 3 wins

⚡All pieces can move backwards, therefore, “kings” do not exist

⚡You are not forced to jump a piece given the opportunity
