Transitioning Site – Update Your Bookmarks
As part of the process of shutting down the project, I am moving domains. Both http://justcheckers.org and http://justcheckers.net will now redirect to https://justcheckers.dorianpula.ca. I will be putting those domains up for sale, so if you are interested please contact me via email at: dorian.pula at amber-penguin-software dot ca.

Shutting Down Project… 🙁
Hey there. It has been a while since I last looked at or worked on justCheckers. And I’ve come to the realization that I have lost interest in working on it. Finally it seems that there hasn’t been a community that developed around it. So I have come to the conclusion that I need to…

Migration to Python
What does one do with a software project that has stagnated and needs a good push to move forward? Rewrite in another language, obviously. While I say the above in jest, I plan on doing just that with justCheckers. For years the project existed in Java, and was in fact started as a way for…

Modular Gradle Build + Future Steps
Just when you thought that the justCheckers project has languished into oblivion… it is back! As part of a larger project to “finish what I started”, I plan on getting more work done on justCheckers.

But wait folks there is more!* I have also updated the Launchpad page for justCheckers, as the way to track bugs, feature requests and other project…

And We’re Back!
After the madness of the past few months, I have a bit more free time to work on justCheckers. Not that the fast pace of the last few months has subsided. I just managed to catch up on other projects and free up time here and there. 🙂 The first order of business will be…

Website Migration
I just finished migrating the website to a new install and a new hosting service provider. Hopefully everything worked smoothly, and development on the game can begin again proper.

Website Refresh
Amongst the various changes that I have planned for justCheckers, I have updated the website. I hope you like the new theme, which I think is much cleaner (even if it is the default) than before. Also I have updated the content of the website, to reflect the new changes. Probably the most notable change…

Moving to Git
justCheckers is getting with the times and moving over to using Git as our main revision control system. Git is a much more flexible system and I can manage contributions from the community. If I hesitated with giving out commit access, it was because there is far more trouble with dealing with merging code and…
