Works on LM 22.1 Cinnamon. Checkers has been solved there is no longer AI research. Great game. Just like chess games the 3D graphics are not needed. Could use some minor tweeks.
It doesn't get integrated into the user interface when installed. However, it's installed into /usr/games, it can be run from there or via a desktop shortcut. It does work!! (Mint 17) [to create a desktop shortcut: gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop --create-new]
I jumped in the air... and noticed it does not work right. I had checkers in Windows Me long ago..
Does not work well with linux mint 10.10, Sometimes it does not load! I do Not recommend.
