Checkers was created as a source code demonstration application. This demonstration vehicle includes the ability to enforce legality of moves and turn-taking through NCSA Habanero's central Arbitrator facility. Further, resource locking mechanisms have been developed in order to support the implementation of turn-taking. State examination code examples have been written, such as is necessary to handle game-start logistics, to determine a winner, or to disallow illegal moves. These resource management facilities will have many different types of applications, but are handily demonstrated in this classic game.

Hablet Source Code

Both the source and byte code is included in the NCSA Habanero distribution package as a technology demonstration. The source code was release as exemplary material.
