CHINESE CHECKERS vers0.66 (FREEWARE) This is an OS/2 implementation of a traditional Chinese game for two to six players. Each player has ten pegs of one color at one starting point of the star. The object of the game is to occupy the star point directly opposite. The first player to accomplish this is a winner. Of course if in the same round more than one players reach the end point all of them are winners. Each player moves in turn, (in this implementation clockwise). A move consists of placing a peg into one of the adjacent holes or jumping over any other one peg into a hole beyond. The direction of the move has to be one of the following: left/right, forward left/right, backward left/right in respect with players position on the board. Only one move is made at a time, except when jumping. Then the player can make any number of jumps in any direction as long as all the moves are consist of jumps. A player can jump their own or their opponents pegs. No pegs are removed from the board during play.
