NathanCheckers enforces American Standard rules for playing checkers, also known as English Draughts. I made this game to learn the pygame framework. I like family-oriented games.
See LICENSE.txt for legal info (basically, you can do whatever you want with the game, including selling it, but if you modify it then you need to publish your altered source code).
Linux users need to install python (2.4 recommended) and pygame (1.7.x or higher recommended), and any of their dependencies.
