Deskovß hra "dßma".
=================================================================
Checkers is one of the world's oldest games. It has the intrigue
of chess but is simple enough for players of all ages. And like
chess, checkers is purely a game of skill-the best player always
wins. This software version of checkers can be played with two
people or against the computer.
USAGE
When you launch Checkers, you'll see a picture of a checkerboard,
set up for a new game, with program option controls along the right
edge. Under the label "Against:" you'll see two buttons. Click on
the button with a picture of a computer to play against the computer;
click on the button with a picture of a person to play against
a human opponent.
Play is accomplished by dragging a checker to a new square using
the mouse. When you drag a checker, the cursor changes from
a standard pointing arrow to a hand that grasps the checker.
When you drag a checker to a square where it can legally land,
the grasping hand opens up, indicating you can drop the checker
there. If you attempt to drag a checker that cannot legally be
moved, the cursor remains an arrow and does not grasp the checker.
The inability to pick up a checker is the only clue that it is an
illegal move; there are no annoying beeps.
Checkers keeps a record over sessions of the number of wins for
both the red and black checkers. You can clear this record back
to zero by clicking on the Clear button. You can quit Checkers
by either clicking the Quit button or pressing Esc.To review
the rules of checkers and some winning strategies, press
the Help button.
