Dama

The X-Window program Dama lets you play Turkish draughts. This game is rather different from British draughts. Mainly:

• A man moves one square sideward or forward.
• A king moves one or several squares, along an open line, sidewards, forwards or backwards.
• Majority capture precedes.

For comprehensive rules, see file rules.txt that comes with the Dama distribution.

Dama has been developed on a GNU/Linux system. The user interface is based on the GTK+ toolkit.
