HELP in chess project in C
Hi! I'm making a chess program, that need to move pieces on the chess board, get an input,check if the move is valid and print the output. The compiler finds some errors that i don't understand...I need some help with the pieces functions. Plz help me fix them!!!
my attempts :

Also , your entire code of setup_board() can be re written much efficiently using a for loop.
So many more... please do the formatting
What do you mean under formatting?
check_if_empty checks ifthe final position is not occupied, if its >0(occupied) it returns 0.
Actually I did the CODE mark, i don't know why isn't it working.
Those are compilation errors(VS6):

thANX AGAIN
By formatting , I mean something like this
if(c=='Q')
{
printf("BYE BYE\n");
}
else if((c!='A')||(c!='B')||(c!='C')||(c!='D')||(c!='E')||(c!='F')||(c!='G')||(c!='H'))
{
printf("Sorry wrong column selection. Re enter.\n");
return -1 ;
}
else
x=c-65;//A will be converted to 0, B to 1, etc...error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'return'
There must be a semicolon on line 380 after print_board()syntax error : missing ')' before '!'
There is nothing like !< . Use > (greater than) or >= whichever is appropriate
(325) : error C2181: illegal else without matching if
Now this is how formatting would help you. You can clearly see one else is misplaced
int rook_moove(int x1,int x2,int y1, int y2)
{
int dx,dy;
int i,j;
dx=abs(x2-x1);
dy=abs(y2-y1);
if(((dx!=0)&&(dy=0))||((dy!=0)&&(dx=0)))
{
printf("Cannot moove- the m oove is illegall!\n");
return 0;
}
else
{
for(i=x1+1;i<x2;i++)
{
if(check_if_empty(i,y2))
{
update_board(x1,y1,x2,y2);
print_board();
return 1;
}
}
}
else
{
for(j=y1+1;j<y2;j++)
{
if(check_if_empty(x1,j))
{
update_board(x1,y1,x2,y2);
print_board();
return 1;
}
}
}
}
More specifically , this is the else else
{
for(j=y1+1;j
What do you mean by misplaced?I tried to recompile but there's "expected primary expression before else"...Both elses have the same structire....
Now this is how formatting would help you. You can clearly see one else is misplaced
int rook_moove(int x1,int x2,int y1, int y2) { int dx,dy; int i,j; dx=abs(x2-x1); dy=abs(y2-y1); if(((dx!=0)&&(dy=0))||((dy!=0)&&(dx=0))) { printf("Cannot moove- the m oove is illegall!\n"); return 0; } else { for(i=x1+1;i<x2;i++) { if(check_if_empty(i,y2)) { update_board(x1,y1,x2,y2); print_board(); return 1; } } } else { for(j=y1+1;j<y2;j++) { if(check_if_empty(x1,j)) { update_board(x1,y1,x2,y2); print_board(); return 1; } } } }More specifically , this is the else
You can't use 2 else statements after an if statement, line 12 should be an else if statement or another if statement after the first else, etc.
I think he just didn't notice it :)

Hi!This Is My Code after formatting and compiling- still need some help in main function.
What help do you exactly need ? Is your code working now or are there still any compiler errors. If so, post them too

Hi! There is no compilation errors, but the program itself is not working. I checked my main funcs and they seems to be working.I cant't find my bug...
All I nee is
1.Get start position (E2 for example)
2.Get finish(E4)
3.Check legality
4.Move the piece and display
My problem is not a compilation but the main itself.
I'm using CodeBlocks.
Maybe it's because i have nested functions?
Thanx
printf("\nPlease select a starting position for a figure for instance E2 in upper case\n"); scanf("%1s%d",&c,&y);
Might be a problem here. Try printing values of c and y and see if you are getting proper values. I suppose it is because you are giving your input as E2 rather than E 2. Also use %c for c
In starting position im getting a proper values
E2
c->E
x->4
y->2
but in finishing position i'm getting
c1->4
x->2
y->-55
why??
In starting position im getting a proper values E2 c->E x->4 y->2 but in finishing position i'm getting c1->4 x->2 y->-55 why??
What did you input as finishing position.
I removed it: still the values are not proper
printf("\nPlease select a starting position for a figure for instance E2 in upper case\n");
scanf("%c %d",&c,&y);
printf("%c\n",c);
if(c=='Q')//Exit chess
{
printf("Thank you and goodbye\n");
return 0;
}
else
x1=char_to_int(c);
printf("%d\n",x1);
printf("%d\n",y);
y1=y-1;
printf("Please select a finishing position for a figure for instance E,4\n");
scanf("%c %d",&c1,&y0);
printf("%c\n",c1);
if(c=='Q')//Exit chess
{
printf("Thank you and goodbye\n");
return 0;
}
else
x2=char_to_int(c1);
printf("%d\n",x2);
printf("%d\n",y1);
y2=y1-1;
int choice;
choice=board[x1][y1];
switch(choice)
{
case 1:pawn_moove(x1,y1,x2,y2);
break;
case 2:rook_moove(x1,y1,x2,y2);
break;
case 3:knight_moove(x1,y1,x2,y2);
break;
case 4:bishop_moove(x1,y1,x2,y2);
break;
case 5:queen_moove(x1,y1,x2,y2);
break;
case 6:king_moove(x1,y1,x2,y2);
break;
default:
printf("Wrong selection of start/finish combination\n");
break;
}
return 0;
}
}I think you are giving the wrong input here. E,4 or E4. Post EXACTLY what input you have given and the exact output that you have got. Also ,no space here : use
scanf("%c%d",&c,&y);Next (although not related to your problem but what you have done is bad programming) : For setup_board() , use for loop ,don't assign values individually
