weedbreed / unicheckers Goto Github PK

Console application to play checkers against the computer. Written in Haskell using UI.Ncurses library for frontend.

Application can be configured with unicheckers.conf file. You can use also /etc/unicheckers.conf file that will be overwritten by the local one. Config example with default values (which will be used even without .conf file) is in repository.

Known issues

• Troubles with randomizer initialization
• Some questions about rules when King is eating
• If checker become King after eating turn is switching to another player regardless can this checker eat again or not
• AI is making redundant calculations even if the single turn is possible at the moment
• Mismatch in coordinates
