Alright, here goes: I want to code a game, and I've decided on Checkers. I don't need any fancy GUI or anything (yet), all I want is suggestions on how you, the reader, would go about this.<BR><BR ...

Nope- my prof is obsessed withb GUI. Thats one of the aspects that we'll have to spend a lot of time (and code) on. Part of the grade comes for the overall impression of the game.
