+# Pygame Checkers
+This is a Checkers game programmed in python using the pygame library. This program will be perfect for training a deeplearning ai on how to play checkers.
+
+# Credits
+This code is based on the code from https://github.com/Btsan/CheckersBot and the video explaining how it works https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzMcBGfZo4-lkJr3sqpikNyVzbNZLRiT3 . Check out his code and videos.
