Chess Project Planning

Design a Chess game using OOP

Use Object Oriented Programming to design the multiple components of a game of Chess. These components include:

1. Square: A single block of an 8x8 grid.
   • Should track the row and col of the spot
   • Should track whether a Piece occupies the spot or not
   • Should set/get the Piece, row, and col
2. Piece: The building block of the game. Each piece will be placed on a Spot, and will be able to move according to its type.
   • Piece is an abstract class.
   • Should track the color of the piece
   • Should track if piece is still in play
   • Should set/get and check whether a piece is white
   • Should set piece to captured and check if a piece is captured
   • Should check whether a piece can make a specific Move;
   • Its extended classes should include:
     • Pawn
     • King
     • Queen
     • Rook
     • Knight
     • Bishop

3. Board: The actual game board. A series of 8x8 Spots.
