There will always be cheaters !! I cannot stop this....anyone could "Mirror" your moves through a computer checkers game and win.
I wish I knew of a way to stop cheaters...but this is why I put in a rage quit option....of flipping the board over !! So, there are numerous
ways to vent your frustration if you think this is happening.

Also, even if you "Lose" you still win in a couple ways....
1. You gain XP which allows you access to some cool spells and items in the castle
2. You gain Gold which lets you purchase things in the Castle shop...
3. You can Level up, and increase your rank which is displayed on you're Flag when you play
4. There are other perks which will be implemented too...

Your Rank, and Rage Quit level always gets recorded and displayed on your flag, along with your gamerpic :)
So, you can look at your opponents flag and see what his/her status is....hopefully this "BloodyCheckers" gets some kids excited about
checkers in general.

I think it is reallllly awesome.... this game has a way of just getting people addicted to it... So as long as a lot of people TRY it... they will get addicted and eventually get good enough to say.... HEY... I should go play in a tournament!!!! The fact that you are making this game so inexpensive is AMAZING!!! I hope that you do very well in advertising it and I would be happy to advertise this game on my website when it is released.

Hey, thanks a lot. I appreciate all good comments.....very inspiring. BloodyCheckers - The game also has...and I am not sure what to call it....a "training" section, or a "simulation room"
where you can be taught some basic checker moves. You start out in the middle of the game.....playing against an AI trainer...and you need to complete a task like getting a king etc....
I wanted to have a sort of "playbook" that starts out teaching basic moves, then sacrifices, and then some intermediate tricks....

I have also programmed in some great situational setups, where you have to make say 3 moves to get a king etc....and this I think will really help a beginner (like myself)
advance into becoming a good or even great checker player. So, I will try to make a clip of the training room or board and show you what I mean. I think it is a great add-on
to the checker game to learn new skills and test out (or practice) other skills.
