checkers-game v2.3.1

Welcome to Checkers-Game (react-only)

Setup:

Open your terminal, and run npm i checkers-game

In the component where you want the checkers board, add:

import { Board } from 'checkers-game';

Styling:

boardStyle

All styles will live in this object:

<Board boardStyle={{ text: 'no-text', boardTheme: 'b/w' }}/>

boardTheme

<Board boardStyle={{ boardTheme: 'b/w' }}/>

border

"border" holds two possible border customization options. Size and color.

<Board boardStyle={{ border: { borderColor: 'white', borderSize: '10px' } }}/>

If you only specify a color, size will default to 3. If you only specify a size, color will default to white.

boardTiles

boardTiles contains 4 seperate properties:

p1 - The color that lights up when selecting a player 1 piece. p2 - The color that lights up when selecting a player 2 piece. diag1 - The first diagonal. diag2 - The second diagonal.

These can all be set with valid css colors.

<Board boardStyle={{ boardTiles: { p1: 'orange', p2: 'blue', diag1: 'blue', diag2: 'green'} }}/>

p1/p2

p1 & p2 are the player 1 and player 2 checkers piece colors respectively.

These colors have 3 options: black/brown/red

<Board boardStyle={{ p1: 'black', p2: 'brown' }}/>

Ensure to note the difference between p1/p2 in the boardTiles object and in the boardStyle object.

text

text is a pretty simple one. By default there is text that shows both players piece count and turn.

If you don't want this, simply use:

<Board boardStyle={{ text: 'no-text' }}/>

1. Custom theming
2. Websocket compatibility
3. Ability to play Chess & Checkers by clicking a button to switch
