Work officially finished!!!! ... or is it?

I have finished the code!

Even the final changes did cause me some problems, but I managed to overcome them and now the game is completely finished. I've also added a bar on the right which shows whose turn it is. I also added a bonus! When the up arrow is pressed, the color of the white field -> It gets more and more bright, until it reaches perfect white. If it is pressed again it "skips" to complete black and then gets lighter and lighter, circulating as above. This bonus took me about 4 minutes to make and it is an example of how I am going to keep this project "live".

Now that I have finished the whole game, I will not have as much time for programing and will not be able to make such big projects for quite a while. But I will be able to teak this game and play around with it, adding functionality and appearance to it! This is a great way of keeping the learning going even after the project.


Final thoughts:

I am really glad I managed to do this project because it certainly was very challenging! Although I have changed some things from the initial design, some ideas I had to throw out, I am really happy with it and in fact I didn't really expect it to be much more than what it is. This has been a huge leap in my programing skills and I hope to keep up the development (although not as rapid) in the manner described above.
