Online Checkers

This is a classic Checkers game where two players can play against each other online in real-time. The frontend is built using React and Tailwind CSS, while the backend uses AWS services such as API Gateway (WebSockets), Lambda, and DynamoDB.

This app also includes a matchmaking feature that allows players to join a lobby, browse connected users, and send or receive game invites to play against others online.
