I'm a university student who's doin my final project on AI Checkers
program. I've been trying to complete my analysis of users preferences
but apparently none of the students I approached to fill in my
questionnaire has ever played Checkers against computer program
beforehand, or even worse, knew what Checkers was. So, it would be
great to get response from you all who are experienced in Checkers.
Thank a dozen!!
Dear Respondents,
Technology has changed the way people conducting their activities in
life. This also applies to board games that have experienced a
migration from physical board to computerized representation.
Furthermore, the existence of World Wide Web brings us to a new
paradigm known as online trend. It stimulates the growth of online
games that can be accessed at no cost.
