[edit] Description
Checkers for Android, written by Aart Bik, is a simple standalone checkers application for Android. The application is available for free at the Android Market and consists of an 8x8 checkers engine (a Java version that evolved into the C++ engine BikMove) together with a GUI. The application accepts moves through the touch screen or trackball. An optional "move coach" shows all valid user moves and highlights each last played move. An undo feature can take back up to eight half-moves to correct mistakes. A game in progress is automatically saved on exit. The engine plays at various levels (including random and free-play). By popular request, an option was added to select between mandatory captures (the official rule) or optional captures (a common home rule, but without "huffing", where the piece that should have performed the capture is forfeited; instead the game simply continues). The user can play either side and, independently, view the board from the perspective of white or black.
