I have been creating English checker game by using Java, everything is working fine, my king is jumping and capture opponents pieces as it should have been. My problem is that when the king is crowned after capturing the opponent pieces it continue to jump back and capture other pieces available. Actually it is supposed to stop right after being crowned as king.
Here is my code:
This is my canjumpKing boolean function which gives permission whether to jump and capture or not.
Lastly the code where the king is crowned
After being crowned as a king it supposed to stop jumping and capture opponent pieces and the other player should play first before the king can move.
Here is my code:
Code:
if (board[row][col] == playerKing)
{
// row/col is the current row/col of the Current Player
if (canJumpKing(player, row, col, row+1, col+1, row+2, col+2))
moves.add(new CheckersMove(row, col, row+2, col+2));
if (canJumpKing(player, row, col, row-1, col+1, row-2, col+2))
moves.add(new CheckersMove(row, col, row-2, col+2));
if (canJumpKing(player, row, col, row+1, col-1, row+2, col-2))
moves.add(new CheckersMove(row, col, row+2, col-2));
if (canJumpKing(player, row, col, row-1, col-1, row-2, col-2))
moves.add(new CheckersMove(row, col, row-2, col-2));
if (row<col)
for (int i=1; i<(7-col); i++) {
if (canJumpKing(player, row, col, row+i, col+i, row+1+i, col+1+i))
moves.add(new CheckersMove(row, col, row+1+i, col+1+i)); }
if (row>col)
for (int i=1; i<Math.min(7-row,7-col); i++) {
if (canJumpKing(player, row, col, row+i, col+i, row+1+i, col+1+i))
moves.add(new CheckersMove(row, col, row+1+i, col+1+i)); }
if (row<col)
for (int i=1; i<row; i++) {
if (canJumpKing(player, row, col, row-i, col-i, row-1-i, col-1-i))
moves.add(new CheckersMove(row, col, row-1-i, col-1-i)); }
if (row>col)
for (int i=1; i<col; i++) {
if (canJumpKing(player, row, col, row-i, col-i, row-1-i, col-1-i))
moves.add(new CheckersMove(row, col, row-1-i, col-1-i)); }
for (int i=1; i<Math.min(row,7-col); i++) {
if (canJumpKing(player, row, col, row-i, col+i, row-1-i, col+1+i))
moves.add(new CheckersMove(row, col, row-1-i, col+1+i)); }
for (int i=1; i<Math.min(7-row,col); i++) {
if (canJumpKing(player, row, col, row+i, col-i, row+1+i, col-1-i))
moves.add(new CheckersMove(row, col, row+1+i, col-1-i)); }
}
Code:
private boolean canJumpKing(int player, int r1, int c1, int r2, int c2, int r3, int c3) {
