# Checkers Game with AI in JavaFX

Fully functional checkers game developed using JavaFX for the GUI and Maven as a project management tool.

## Game Modes

Application allows you to play with another player in a hotseat mode, play with an AI or watch a game 

between two AI players. AI is based on Minimax algorithm with Alfa-Beta pruning with maximum depth 7

due to performance issues.

## Development

One of the goals of this project is to implement the game of checkers following OOP rules. Because of that

pieces and board are implemented as different objects, which makes the application suboptimal in terms of

time and memory complexity.

The project is still under development and will be expanded in the future (another checkers modes and

possibly even another board games). 

## Installation

1. Clone the repository and go to the project directory:

   ```bash

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/checkers-javafx.git

   cd Checkers

   ```

2. Compile the application:

   ```bash

   mvn clean install

   ```

3. Run the application:

   ```bash

   mvn javafx:run

   ```

## GUI

### Main Menu

After running the application main menu is shown, where you can

choose mode, enter players' names and choose colour.

download the [PDN][1]  of the game.

## To-Do

- implement SOLID and dependency injection principles

- add more tests

- add another checkers modes

- add another board games (especially chess)
