How awesome to read that your app made it to the official catalog on the main page. Congrats!

Some news here: I will be able to maintain the Homebrew Version, so once palm pushes the latest update, I'll post it in homebrew.

Thanks! Now I'll be able to keep playing it on the emulator! Also, does Palm give you a timeframe from when you submit an update and to when they post it?

Did you add more skins in the app catalog version? I would just download it, but I am running the leaked webOS 1.2, which can't connect to the official app catalog.

LOL, LuMan, good catch. According to the official rules, checkers/droughts are only played on the dark squares and the lower right corner of each players side is always light square and open.

So you would be correct. I suspect this was merely an oversite on Keen Studio's part?

Sorry, didn't search the thread before I posted this.

But am I the only one that wants the "New Game" button removed and the board extended? Pass and play is difficult with such small pieces. A landscape mode would be wonderful too.

New Game will be added to the command menu. As for a bigger board, we can't do it without stretching the pieces.

Default Can you make your pieces the bottom set?

Can you make your pieces the bottom set? I am tired of playing this with the phone upside down...

Is there someone who can help me with an error I am getting with installation? It's a syntax error and it won't install.

Default Rules

Sorry but do you know the rules of checkers ?

Do you know the starting position for the board ?

I think you should reed a bit more about it. I sugest

Checkers Rules - How to Play Checkers (Standard U.S. Rules)

The Basic Rules of Checkers

But there are nice graphics in the game.

Why is the phone being a butthead? When I play one player and get to a certain point the app will only move one checker back and forth without touching any other checker to avoid getting taken. Is there a way to get around it or just let it win and start anew?
