Samuel Description

A draughts program for Linux Samuel is a game that allows you to play English draughts / American checkers. Samuel is an open source draughts game written in Python / PyGTK / C++.Developer commentsI was looking into doing a draughts game for Linux. There are some strong programs for windows but not so many for Linux. Some of the stronger windows programs distribute their engine code as a dll which is good for other windows programs but not so good for an open source Linux application.Then I discovered guicheckers which is a draughts program for windows that comes with source code and a good engine. I decided to convert guicheckers to work under Linux and Samuel is the result. Samuel is guicheckers for Linux.The C++ engine code, board graphics and databases (opening book and endgame) all come from guicheckers. I wrote a new python / GTK front end gui with an interface that is very similar to guicheckers. Here are some key features of "Samuel": · Load / Save Games in standard PDN format · Copy / Paste games from clipboard in standard PDN or FEN formats · Edit board position so you can set up your own scenarios · Various levels of play from beginner to expert · Review the game · Adjustable board size Requirements: · Python · PyGTK What's New in This Release: · online help file · Play Human vs Human, Human vs Computer, Computer vs Computer. · flip the board feature · New status bar
