A modified checkers program with class name Checkers using double buffering. Somehow the program must have two top squares and two bottom squares. There should be two checkers of different color. The two checkers always move in opposite directions. When a checker reaches the end of its path, it should start moving backwards in the opposite direction.
Somehow need to enhance the Checkers program above to respond to mouse clicks. The checkers must stop moving whenever the user clicks and holds down the mouse. Then start moving again whenever the mouse is released. Cannot figure this out at all, please help.
