About:
Icon-based strategy board game based on Checkers, but with a few rules twists. A nice, waste-a-bit-of-time diversion game.

Description
KingMe! Granite Edition started as an experiment when I began to teach myself how to program a few years ago. Essentially, I just wanted to make a checkers game, but other ideas, such as animated icons, internet playability, and gameboard variations, started to show up in my concept. Feature creep eventually ground the project to a halt. As a novice, I went from a simple game concept to something that I couldn't manage. Instead of ditching the game, I broke it into two: the "Granite Edition" and the "Iron Edition." The Granite Edition is the bare bones game, with no real frills other than a changing background, but it allowed me to proceed with a game design suitable for a novice. The Iron Edition, with loads of other options, and more advanced code, is about 75 percent complete, but I haven't touched it for a while. I hope to finish it eventually, as real life allows, because it's a good non-commital game that is actually pretty fun to play.
