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.

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…

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.

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…

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…

The move to using Android as a base for justCheckers is going well. I’ve already managed to setup a nice looking user interface. And the information screens work without any problems. All that remains is to build a settings screen and the game screens. This entire project is still a work in progress and so…

I added an initial roadmap for the justCheckers project. It is a bit spartan, but hopefully it will help everyone who wants to contribute on the same page.

Yesterday evening I imported the last of the content from the developer’s guide from the old justCheckers site. I didn’t import any of the even older web content, since most of that was redundant and old. On one hand, I would like to show for my progress back in university. On the other hand, I…

I’m putting my involvement with the justCheckers project on hold for a while. Progress ground to a halt when I started to dig into the code. In its current state most of the application’s core functionality needs reworking. Meaning to go forward someone would need to reimplement slides and jumps that allows for multiple jumps…

I hope so far, everyone is having a happy new 2009. On the development front of justCheckers, I designed a generic move algorithm. This algorithm handles the movement of pieces: both slides and jumps. It also accounts for multiple jumps and for the various checker rule variants out there. However before I implement this code,…
