Also, multiple games can now be started and be played simultaneously.\nAbout the game itself, I have allowed pieces to be moved along the board and then implemented captures.\nThis means that PyCheckers now have the very basic game mechanisms ready: selecting, moving, capturing.\n\n---\n\n_More posts coming soon._","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmciszczon%2Fpycheckers","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmciszczon%2Fpycheckers","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmciszczon%2Fpycheckers/lists"}
