Hi Guys,
I made a Checkers NPC cause Soulfist asked someone to do it in the help section and I wanted to see if I could pull it off.
I should first tell you it's not completely finished, it misses CPU Checker movement, which I failed to add in. But I think it's a waste to not release it and so here it is.
By releasing this I hope somebody could finish it sometime lol.
What is already has:
I might have forgotten to name some stuff but w/e.
It might not be coded in the best possible way but I did it all by myself without any help from anyone.
That having said, I should tell you I did take Emilyx3's Minesweeper NPC as an example (you might notice function names are the same and the top part of the action function, as well as a few very small functions). The rest is done 100% by me (No Soulfist, this is not leeching).
So yeh, only cpu movement for the checkers is left. I really do hope anyone could add that in.
One more thing: Using Items in stead of characters for checkers and field types is not possible. It makes the board too wide causing the 8th option to appear on a new line.
Yap, enjoy. I've commented away the turn checks for player <-> cpu so you'll be able to move anything you'd like.
One last thing (so many things to say @_@), don't ask for my help on this, I cannot finish it myself either.

What is already has:
- Draw Board
- Draw Checkers
- Move Counters
- Redrawing of fields after movements
- Time Counter, showed after the game is over
- Very fancy colors for the checkers and board pieces ^^,
- Game Over en Game Win.

}Yap, enjoy. I've commented away the turn checks for player <-> cpu so you'll be able to move anything you'd like.
One last thing (so many things to say @_@), don't ask for my help on this, I cannot finish it myself either.
