This document provides the rules and requirements for Assignment 2 on developing the game of checkers. Students must create classes to represent game pieces and validate moves according to checkers rules. A Piece class is required to contain attributes like location and king status. Functions like TakeMove and ValidateMove must validate jumps, kings, and turns. The board must be displayed as a 2D array and all valid/invalid moves must be checked. The assignment is due on February 23rd and can be done in groups of up to two students. Files should be named with both student registration numbers.

CS112-B-Assignment 2

Deadline 23rd February 2023


.
Hint: Start working early
Group size: Max. two students
Problem Statement:

In this assignment you have to develop the game of checkers.

Checkers is a board game played between two players, who alternate moves. The player who
cannot move, because he has no pieces, or because all of his pieces are blocked, loses the game.
Players can resign or agree to draws.

The board is square, with sixty-four smaller squares, arranged in an 8x8


grid. The smaller squares are alternately light and dark colored (green and
buff in tournaments), in the famous "checker-board" pattern. The game of
checkers is played on the dark (black or green) squares. Each player has a
dark square on his far left and a light square on his far right. The double-
corner is the distinctive pair of dark squares in the near right corner.

The pieces are Red and White, and are called


Black and White in most books. In some modern publications, they are
called Red and White. Sets bought in stores may be other colors. Black
and Red pieces are still called Black (or Red) and White, so that you can read the books. The
pieces are of cylindrical shape, much wider than they are tall (see diagram). Tournament pieces
are smooth, and have no designs (crowns or concentric circles) on them. The pieces are placed
on the dark squares of the board.

The starting position is with each player having twelve pieces, on the
twelve dark squares closest to his edge of the board. Notice that in
checker diagrams, the pieces are usually placed on the light colored
squares, for readability. On a real board they are on the dark squares.

Moving: A piece which is not a king can move one square,


diagonally, forward, as in the diagram at the right. A king can move
one square diagonally, forward or backward. A piece (piece or king) can
only move to a vacant square. A move can also consist of one or more
jumps (next paragraph).

Jumping: You capture an opponent's piece (piece or king) by jumping over it,
diagonally, to the adjacent vacant square beyond it. The three squares must be
lined up (diagonally adjacent) as in the diagram at the left: your jumping piece
(piece or king), opponent's piece (piece or king), empty square. A king can jump
diagonally, forward or backward. A piece which is not a king, can only jump diagonally
forward. You can make a multiple jump (see the diagram on the right), with one piece only, by
jumping to empty square to empty square. In a multiple jump, the jumping piece or king can
change directions, jumping first in one direction and then in another direction. You can only
jump one piece with any given jump, but you can jump several pieces with a move of several
jumps. You remove the jumped pieces from the board. You cannot jump your own piece. You
cannot jump the same piece twice, in the same move. If you can jump, you must. And, a multiple
jump must be completed; you cannot stop part way through a multiple jump. If you have a choice
of jumps, you can choose among them, regardless of whether some of them are multiple, or not.
A piece, whether it is a king or not, can jump a king.

Kinging: When a piece reaches the last row (the King Row), it becomes a King. A second
checker is placed on top of that one, by the opponent. A piece that has just kinged, cannot
continue jumping pieces, until the next move.

Red moves first. The players take turns moving. You can make only one move per turn. You
must move. If you cannot move, you lose. Players normally choose colors at random, and then
alternate colors in subsequent games

Constraints:
 Must use classes
 Each piece on the board must be an instance of a Class called Piece
 The class Piece may contain attributes
o Player
o LocationX
o LocationY
o IsKing
o ……..
 The class Piece may contain functions.
o TakeMove
o ValidateMove
o …..(any additional function as you may need)
 Display the game board as a 2D array.
 Check all the valid and invalid moves
