Everything to do with chess boards

Board¶

interface Board<B : Board<B, M, GM, P, C>, M : Move<B, M, GM, P, C>, GM: GameMove<B, M, GM, P, C>, P: Piece<B, M, GM, P, C>, C: Coordinate>

Methods¶

fun getBoardState(): Array<Array<P?>>: Returns a 2D representation of the board in terms of pieces. Coordinates with no pieces are null in the resulting array. TODO: Change getBoardState to return a Map<Coordinate, P?>

fun addPiece(coordinate: C, piece: P): Adds a piece P at coordinate C onto the board.

fun removePiece(coordinate: C, piece: P): Removes a piece P at coordinate C from the board.

fun getPieces(): List<Pair<P, C>>: Returns a list of pairs representing which coordinate each piece is on. TODO: Change getPieces to return a Map<P, C>

fun getPieces(player: Player): List<Pair<P, C>>: Returns a list of pairs representing which coordinate each piece is on for the given player. TODO: Change getPieces to return a Map<P, C>

fun getPiece(coordinate: C): P?: Returns the piece on the given coordinate if there is one. Otherwise returns null.

fun getPieceCoordinate(piece: P): C?: Returns the coordinate of a given piece by reference.

Board2D¶

class Board2D(val rows: Int, val cols: Int) : Board<Board2D, Move2D, GameMove2D, Piece2D, Coordinate2D>

Implementation of the Board interface for a 2d square board. The board size is rows x cols and each coordinate can have upto one Piece2D.
