Chess...confusing problem =(
Please support our C++ advertiser: Intel Parallel Studio Home

Well I don't have any specific question. I've been writing a chess game and can't seem to figuire out what the problem is with it! I tried debugging it for a few hours now and am about to give up altogether and rewrite it. The problem occurs seemingly randomly when the king is moved (on either team). It throws an access violation for some reason...and I can't seem to figuire out the exact circumstances that trigger it. I'm thinking the problem lies in the recent (and still pretty sloppy) additions of check, checkmate, and castling. Any help would be appreciated!! I would post the code but the project is pretty big at this point, so it's probably easiest just to download it (Project is attached). Thanks!

Your zip file appears to be corrupt. At least according to my copy of WinZip.
Everyone's gotta believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink.

I got it to open with 7-zip
Sorry I zipped it as rar then changed the extension to zip after I found out rar cant be uploaded. WinRar opens it fine! I don't have winzip =(. When I get home I'll get winzip and re-upload for you. I appreciate that some people are actually making an attempt to help debug it!

And it seems you have archives within archives within archives?
And, shouldn't there be some implementation files for the various classes?

Well before you do anything, might wana fix a lil problem w/ ur game.
Your pon can move 2 spaces even when its not its first move : /
I recomend saying if the pon is not in the start y axis, then it can only move 1 space, else it can move 2. Because pons cant move backwards, this will assure it works. But i havent looked at code first so i cant solve your problem yet. I will check.
also i moved the king allot and dident get any access violation. But i will see

i will redo the whole thing right now since the one i uploaded seems to be totally fried.
Lol. Sorry about that everyone. Here's the new project that, other than the forementioned issue, is working fine. And regarding the implementation files, everything is inlined right now, so its all jammed in the headers. I will probably end up changing this when I start the AI to increase performance.

Generally it's a good idea to abstract the problem into as simple and small piece of source code that you can rather than upload your entire project. This way when an answer is obtained, it will help others in the future as well, rather than just help the king move properly!

-Update - I think I may have the king working now, but now the checkmate seems to be failing! I'll post up when I get home tonight.
