i am reopening this thread previously created by aalzanki. Now with tables and arrays made available for Gamesalad, has anyone attempted to make checkers or chinese checkers with Gamesalad? care to share some insights how to do it?
i have created the board, make the actors ( click to highlight one set of the checkerpiece on and off,, and to move to where the touch points at,,, also created table and arrays for positions x,y for all the points on the board,,, but got stuck here, how to move on?

@aalzanki, @synthesis, @design219, (the link you provided cant open) @jhaas.... any advice ?

    when clicked on an actor, figure out where he can go based on the game rules, check if those locations are available and what is in his path.

    Checkers can be a fun project with w/tables.

    With tables yes, but it could get quite complicated like chess, It could be very complicated in fact

    doing a PvP chess game is possible, but I can't even start thinking about doing a PvCPU one with GS (unless it will be very basic, almost random).

    it would be a advanced project. Not something a beginner should try.

    Yes, it's very possible but as previously stated. Setting up the Rules of checkers is a little complex.

    @kkchong - PVP = Player vs Player. You could play against your friend...
    PVCPU = playing against a computer.

    Same iphone, you cant have multiplayer over the internet or connect to devices via bluetooth or anything like that in gamesalad at this time.
