Much like the other day with the tic tac toe, today we are going to do the game of checkers, it has a few more pieces, and potential for more work, but the same basic concept of game creating.
Step 1.
Copy the checkers folder into your Y drive.
Go to My Computer > X > Media > Games - Right click on the checkers folder and copy, then go to your Y drive and paste.
Step 2.
Find 2 images, try to find something that would oppose another thing, or relate to another thing.
Step 3.
Launch the program / application GIMP (Start > Programs> GIMP)
Edit the images to fit the correct sizes, ALL images are 50px by 50px.
Edit the user and opponent to have a normal state and a highlighted or clicked state. Play game to see what happens when you click on an image.
ALSO
Add the images for when the checker piece is "kinged"
With the ON state also.
Total images should be:
opponent1.png
opponent1on.png
opponent2.png
opponent2on.png
user1.png
user1on.png
user2.png
user2on.png
The easiest way to do this is simply open the file, put your image in place of it and re-save the file.
GIMP tools to use, Move, scale, rotate...
IF YOU WANT TO you can change the blank1.png and blank.png so that you have your own custom checkerboard. ALSO if you want to you can edit the lang-en-us.js file to have your own custom directions.
WHEN YOU ARE DONE.
Rename your checkers folder your name, example: hurstcheckers.
Right click on the folder > send to > compressed (zipped) folder.
Upload zipped file.
