Isometric Game Engine:
The Isometric Game Engine is a project to make cool games you can run in your browser. Checkers is the first game made with the engine, involving essential game elements such as creating a board, moving pieces around according to the rules, and capturing pieces.
You can take a peak at the code in its entirety and find out that he is a Steven Colbert fan.

doesn’t have the rule for jumping multiple pieces. apart from that, well done that man!
Doesn’t work in Opera 9.22.
I find myself inordinately disturbed by the lack of semicolons in the code, but am otherwise impressed by the result ;)
Nice; source sure does have loads of “truth”…
Very well done and impressive demo, but there are some aspects of the code that could be improved:
- Consistent code-style/white-space
- Aforementioned semi-colons
- Should declare variables with the “var” keyword because currently every variable reference will bubble up to the window scope which decreases the performance/speed
- Almost no documentation
- Truthiness is humorous but doesn’t really explain whats going on ;-)
@Andy Kant
Not trying to pick up, but main problem with global variables is not performance/speed issues but disgusting conflicts that are almost impossible to debug : )
