README

ChessBoardForPC is just a simple "computer magnetic chess board" : you move your pieces as you like,
 just drag a piece to the cell you want it to be.
 
 How do I launch it ?
 ---------------------
 
 First, get the java runtime environment (jre) 6 or later, for your Operating System.
 Then :
 
 *) On Windows
 --------------
 
 Right click on the file, and choose to launch it with Java JRE.
 
 *) On linux bases system (including Mac)
 ----------------------------------------
 
 (Whenever you see <downloaded file> : replace it with the good name, use terminal TAB completion if usefull)
 
 -> Give the exutable right to the file
 (chmod +x <downloaded file> from a terminal
 or go to the file properties and check the excution permission checkbox)
 
 -> If you can, choose to launch it with Java JRE from a graphical file manager,
 or type in a terminal : java -jar <downloaded file> from a terminal
 
 How can I use it ?
 -------------------
 
 *) On the board, simply move pieces with drag and drop.
 *) If you need another piece (for promotion for example), you can import a new piece instance from
the "store panel" : simply drag the piece (except the cross) from the store to the board cell you want.
 *) If you need to remove a piece, you simply need to drop the red cross over it.
 
 FOR DEVELOPPERS
 ---------------
 
 Whenever you try the source, don't forget to add the chess_images and misc_images directories to the class path !!!
 (And the src path if needed). Also, add the ictk library to the project classpath.
 
 History
 -------
 
 0.4.2) I added a cross on the store panel : it lets you remove a piece from the board, just by dragging it over
 		the piece.
 
 0.4.0) I added a store panel : you can take pieces from it and drop it on the board, in order to add instances
 		(useful for promotion).
 
 0.2.0)	The first version of project : you can move all pieces wherever you want on the board, simply
 		with a drag and drop.
