The game

I've decided what I game I will make - checkers. It is one of the games that fulfills the requirements I needed it to: there are no items that can be visible to only one of the players (like one's 'hand' in cards), it is fairly simple and is 2D. But there is also another reason, which comes from the fact that I really do not know how much time it will all take me. If I find out that I have created the game really quick and I have more time for development, I can easily turn the game into chess (easily, in the fact that I will have most of the graphical content ready - I will have to recreate the game mechanics. It is just a door for development that I am leaving open to myself.
