Detailed Description

A base board for games with the goal of lining up a number of pieces.

A board for Cfour

Cfour is an abstract strategy game

Two players take turns to drop pieces onto the board of 7 files and 6 ranks. Every piece goes to the lowest unoccupied rank of the chosen file. The side that connects four pieces horizontally, vertically or diagonally wins.

Introduced in 1973/1974 by Howard Wexler and Ned Strongin, USA.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ConnectBoard()

Chess::ConnectBoard::ConnectBoard ( )

Creates a new ConnectBoard object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ connectToWin()

int Chess::ConnectBoard::connectToWin ( ) const

protectedvirtual

Returns the number of pieces to connect in order to win

Reimplemented in Chess::GomokuFreestyleBoard, and Chess::TicTacToeBoard.

◆ copy()

Board * Chess::ConnectBoard::copy ( ) const

virtual

Creates and returns a deep copy of this board.

Implements Chess::Board.

Reimplemented in Chess::GomokuBoard, Chess::GomokuFreestyleBoard, and Chess::TicTacToeBoard.

◆ defaultFenString()

QString Chess::ConnectBoard::defaultFenString ( ) const

virtual

Returns the variant's default starting FEN string.

Implements Chess::Board.

Reimplemented in Chess::GomokuFreestyleBoard, and Chess::TicTacToeBoard.

◆ generateMovesForPiece()

void Chess::ConnectBoard::generateMovesForPiece	(	QVarLengthArray< Chess::Move > &	moves,
		int	pieceType,
		int	square
	)		const

protectedvirtual

Generates pseudo-legal moves for a piece of pieceType at square square.

Note: It doesn't matter if square doesn't contain a piece of pieceType, the move generator ignores it.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ hasGravity()

bool Chess::ConnectBoard::hasGravity ( ) const

protectedvirtual

Returns true if all pieces gravitate towards the first rank. No empty squares can occur between pieces of the same file. Returns false if this condition is not met.

Reimplemented in Chess::GomokuFreestyleBoard, and Chess::TicTacToeBoard.

◆ height()

int Chess::ConnectBoard::height ( ) const

virtual

Returns the height of the board in squares.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

Reimplemented in Chess::GomokuFreestyleBoard, and Chess::TicTacToeBoard.

◆ isLegalPosition()

bool Chess::ConnectBoard::isLegalPosition ( )

protectedvirtual

Returns true if the current position is a legal position. If the position isn't legal it usually means that the last move was illegal.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ kingsCountAssertion()

bool Chess::ConnectBoard::kingsCountAssertion	(	int	whiteKings,
		int	blackKings
	)		const

protectedvirtual

Returns true if both counts of kings given by whiteKings and blackKings are correct. WesternBoard expects exactly one king per side.

See also: AntiBoard; HordeBoard

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ overlinesWin()

bool Chess::ConnectBoard::overlinesWin ( Side side ) const

protectedvirtual

Returns true if the game is won in case the number of connected pieces of side side exceeds the required number, else false. Default: true.

Reimplemented in Chess::GomokuBoard.

◆ requiredNumberOfPieces()

int Chess::ConnectBoard::requiredNumberOfPieces ( ) const

protectedvirtual

The return value determines the total number of pieces. No determination is made if -1 is returned.

◆ reservePieceTypes()

QList< Chess::Piece > Chess::ConnectBoard::reservePieceTypes ( ) const

virtual

Returns a list of piece types that can be in the reserve, ie. captured pieces that can be dropped on the board.

The default implementation returns an empty list.

Reimplemented from Chess::Board.

◆ result()

Result Chess::ConnectBoard::result ( )

virtual

Returns the result of the game, or Result::NoResult if the game is in progress.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ variant()

QString Chess::ConnectBoard::variant ( ) const

virtual

Returns the name of the chess variant.

Implements Chess::Board.

Reimplemented in Chess::GomokuBoard, Chess::GomokuFreestyleBoard, and Chess::TicTacToeBoard.

◆ variantHasDrops()

bool Chess::ConnectBoard::variantHasDrops ( ) const

virtual

Returns true if the variant allows piece drops. The default value is false.

See also: CrazyhouseBoard

Reimplemented from Chess::Board.

◆ vInitialize()

void Chess::ConnectBoard::vInitialize ( )

protectedvirtual

Initializes the variant.

This function is called by initialize(). Subclasses shouldn't generally call it by themselves.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ vMakeMove()

void Chess::ConnectBoard::vMakeMove	(	const Chess::Move &	move,
		Chess::BoardTransition *	transition
	)

protectedvirtual

Makes move on the board.

This function is called by makeMove(), and should take care of everything except changing the side to move and updating the move history.

Details about piece movement, promotions, captures, drops, etc. should be stored in transition. If transition is 0 then it should be ignored.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ vSetFenString()

bool Chess::ConnectBoard::vSetFenString ( const QStringList & fen )

protectedvirtual

Sets the board according to a FEN string.

This function is called by setFenString(). The board state, side to move and hand pieces are handled by the base class. This function reads the rest of the string, if any.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ vUndoMove()

void Chess::ConnectBoard::vUndoMove ( const Chess::Move & move )

protectedvirtual

Reverses move on the board.

This function is called by undoMove() after changing the side to move to the side that made it.

Note: Unlike vMakeMove(), this function doesn't require subclasses to update the zobrist position key.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ width()

int Chess::ConnectBoard::width ( ) const

virtual

Returns the width of the board in squares.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

Reimplemented in Chess::GomokuFreestyleBoard, and Chess::TicTacToeBoard.
