Search with the keyword....you will defenetly find it in the link.

Well I found this:
http://math.hws.edu/eck/cs124/javanotes3/source/Checkers.java

Thats all I could find on checkers.  I'm looking for an application type.  Allthough this applet kinds of looks like it might as well be.

What do you think?

A lot of game programming tutors are available.

Try these links:

I'm specifically looking for java tutorials on Tetris and Checkers (only because a friend recommended thats where I start out at).

Java, tutorials.

Both of those links are searching for games in general.  Thanks anyways Triquna

Triquna,

No, I'm affraid I have no need to links that throw me in random places.  (there is no relevance from them => java application)

OBCT,

Great work.  Thank you for all of the resources.

I have been searching pretty hardcore for a checkers source that I could review and I have had absolutely zero luck.  I've went to borders and barnes and noble and looked through all of their Java book collection.  None.  *laughs*

Thanks for the help
