Description:
Write a C++ program “exercise1.cc” that allows two players to play a
game of chess. Use the guide below.
Your program does not have to be able to suggest moves, reject illegal
moves, or cope with the promotion of pieces, castling, etc..
Try not to use C techniques that have C++ equivalents. Input and
output need only be through text (cin, cout and cerr).
Guide
1. Create two enumerated types: PieceType and PlayerColour.
The piece types are pawn, castle, knight, bishop, queen and king.
The player colours are black and white.
2. Create a Piece structure, which stores the type & colour of a piece.
3. Create a global array of pointers to Pieces, in which to store the
board: Piece* board [8][8]; // an entry of 0 means ‘no piece&'
4. Write a function to put a player&'s pieces on the board at their initial
positions. This function should take one argument: player colour.
Remember to create each new Piece before setting its type&colour.
5. Write a function to display the board in its current state. Use upper
case characters for black pieces and lower case characters for white
pieces (or vice-versa), eg. “P” for a black pawn.
6. Write a function to input a move in the form “FromRow
FromColumn ToRow ToColumn”, eg. “1 b 3 c”. This function
should only accept the four inputs if they are of the correct types,
and should convert the two character inputs to numerical values.
For this exercise only, use the following global variables:
int fromRow,fromColumn,toRow,toColumn;
7. Write a function to carry out a move that has been input.
This should output a congratulatory message if a king is taken.
8. Finish your program by writing the main function (short!) to blank
the board, put the players pieces on it, and then repeatedly display
the board, input a move and carry out that move.
9. Test your program.
Deliverables:
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
Platform:
unix

Hello,
I can write a C++ program to play
a simplified game of chess within
a day.
Play will alternate white then
black, but no logic will enforce
legitimate chess moves.
I will be developing your program
with GNU C++ on Linux.

P.S. I presume your deadline is
actually Dec. 2 (not Nov).
