Class plan.png What are we going to learn today?[edit]

  1. You are going to get back into the groove of thinking computationally

Homework.png What is your homework and when is it due ?[edit]

  1. No homework today

Planfortoday.png What is the actual plan?[edit]

  1. We will check in with vacation
  2. We will take another look at our chess program, reviewing line by line how it works
  3. We will identify the tasks you need to complete

Target.png Is this graded?[edit]

  1. You will have one job this class. I need to see progress towards completing our move function. See below:
def move(piece,destination):
    # is piece valid?
    # is destination valid (basic int 1 to 64)
    # is the move valid for that piece?
    # would the move place the king in check?
    return

Your specific task is to write code that allows a human player to move a virtual chess piece.
