I don't post here much, but thought I'd share this terminal Checkers game, because I vibe-coded [most of] it while my kids watched a movie and found it very gratifying.

Runs via python3 without any other installation or setup.

From the README.md

> A high-fidelity, dual-perspective checkers game for the terminal. Features vibrant "disco" visuals, a "One-Touch" hotkey input system, and an immutable state-machine core.

Some feedback: Pointing out graphics as a feature without a single screenshot is bit odd. Github also supports MP4 so you can even add a demo.

Good feedback, thanks! Gemini got a bit carried away writing the README for me. Toned it down and added a demo GIF
