[edit] Description
Checkers for Android, written by Aart Bik, is a simple standalone checkers application for the G1 Android phone. The application is available for free at the Android Market and consists of an 8x8 straight checkers engine (which evolved into BikMove) together with a GUI. The application accepts moves through the touch screen or trackball. Selecting a square shows all other squares that belong to valid moves involving the first. By clicking on those squares as well (changing orange colors into red) eventually a move or capture (jump) is uniquely defined. An optional "move coach" highlights the last played engine move. An undo feature can take back up to eight plies (half-moves) to correct mistakes. The engine plays at various levels (including random). 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.
