Brainstorming of Ideas and Progress Update

I have begun to think of many extra ideas I could apply to the creation of the Checkers game. Since I will not change the rules of the Checkers game itself, I will add many extra features to enhance the users experience and eventually make the program easier to use.

I plan to add a save and load function which simply creates a text file in the PC's C: drive that it can automatically access or perhaps allowing multiple save files, so the user can come back and resume more than one game. A highscore table can be added that will calculate who won Checkers in the smallest amount of moves. This will also have to be saved to an external file.


In terms of progress, I have finished the feasibility study and have begun the Ideas and Generation. After that, I will begin the diagrams, namely the flowcharts. I plan to work on this project a lot more often now that the Year 12 exams are coming up. Study may get in the way of the planning for the Checkers game. The study will also include studying Software Design and Development itself.
