How to play the game?

These are the following rules for the game that one must follow:

• The game begin’s with O’s move
• Normal Pieces can only move one diagonal space forward
• To capture an opposing piece,”jump” over it by moving two diagonal spaces in the direction of the the opposing piece
• A piece may jump forward over an opponent’s pieces in multiple parts of the board to capture them
• Keep in mind, the space on the other side of your opponent’s piece must be empty for you to capture it
• If your piece reaches the last row on your opponent’s side
• King pieces has the same rules as a normal piece except that it can move forward and backwards both
• There is no limit to how many king pieces a player may have
• A player wins by capturing all of the opponent’s pieces or by leaving the opponent with no legal move. The game is a draw if neither side can force a win, or by agreement (one side offering a draw, the other accepting)
• If capture of a piece is possible, only that move must be played

Features of the game

• A fully functional 8x8 American Checkers game
• A feature to UNDO as many moves as asked by the players (provided both players agree)
• A feature to REVIEW the game from the start, so the players can see what led to the current game state if they wish to
• A feature to SHOW ALL POSSIBLE MOVES for the next k turns (if both players make a move each, that is counted as two turns), where k is a number that the player gives, in our program k must be ≤ 3 but it can easily be increased in constants.h if one wishes to; the output format for this function is the first column represents the possible moves in the k=1 turn, second column in k=2 and so on, represented like a tree structure, with the parent-> followed by its children i.e. the moves succeeding that move, an example of this is showed below
