Deluxe Checkers by @KoalaKoding is the most complete and polished checkers games on Scratch, featuring both one and two player modes with varying difficulties. Instructions: Play against a friend or by yourself across difficulty levels of easy, normal and hard. Select one of your pieces, then choose a highlighted diagonal space to move. To capture an opposing piece, jump over it into the empty space behind it. If another capture is available after landing, continue jumping until the turn is complete. If you have the ability to capture the opponents piece you must capture it due to the mandatory-capture rule of checkers. A piece becomes a king when it reaches the opposite side of the board. Kings can move and capture in both directions. You win by capturing all of your opponent’s pieces or leaving them with no legal moves. For better performance, hold Shift while clicking the green flag to run the project in Turbo Mode, however this does break some animations. Thanks for playing. Love, favorite, follow fore more. Remixes with credit are also always appreciated. :)
