Checkers for the Amazon Kindle
A couple of weeks ago, I received emails from two American programmers called Matt and Mike who planned to write a checkers program for the Amazon Kindle. I contributed my Java checkers engine (which also powers Checkers Tutor), and those two did all the rest in record time - and now Checkers is available from Amazon. For more information, check out the A gamz website or look at a video on YouTube!. I haven't ever seen the game live, but judging from what I can see, Matt and Mike have done a great job with it!

I like the youtube video and it looks like your engine played a big role in the development. I am looking for a bit of help. I am planning to develop a board game and I think that the layout of checkers will be a good start. I will share more info with you if you can help me get going. All I need is a way to draw a the board and a way to find out the neighbouring slots to the one my piece is on.
You must have realised I am new to android development but the idea for a game that I have is not actually available on Android or on iOS so I don't want to give to much away at this point.
you can email at jazz2580@gmail.com if you feel I am worth helping. take care.
Wow. I have to check out checkers on the Kindle! Love to play the game. Thanks so much for posting this! Regards, Liezl
