/*
This applet lets two uses play checkers against each other.
Red always starts the game. If a player can jump an opponent's
piece, then the player must jump. When a plyer can make no more
moves, the game ends.
This file defines four classes: the main applet class, Checkers;
CheckersCanvas, CheckersMove, and CheckersData.
(This is not very good style; the other classes really should be
nested classes inside the Checkers class.)
