An online checkers made by JavaScript

Checkers Online

This is a personal project. My objective was to test my skills doing an online, multiplayer game.

In this project I built a CHeckers game using JavaScript's framework Phaser 3, a "fast, free and fun open-source framework for Canvas and WebGL powered browser games".

The game

This is a simple checkers game, but it is multiplayer only - you can only play if someone click on 'Join Game' and insert your code. Doing an AI to play a single game is in my future plans.

The rules

Some of the common rules were aplied, other were not. Here are the rules:

• Hoving over a piece show if it can moved. Clicking on it show the possible moves, including jumps and multiple jumps.
• Jumping over an opponent piece will destroy that piece. It is called eating.
• All pieces walk in diagonal and forwards, and one spot at time, unless it is possible to do eat multiple pieces.
• If a piece reach the last spot of the table this piece will be turned into a king. The king can eat and walk backwards.
• In this version of the game you are not obligated to eat if you can.
• You win if the opponent ends with no pieces or movements.
