      • values

        public static PieceType[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows: 
        for (PieceType c : PieceType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static PieceType valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

      • getValue

        public int getValue()
        Returns:
        the value of the piece

      • getSteps

        public Direction[][] getSteps()
        Returns the array of steps that can make legitimate moves. Rooks, Bishops and Queens may iterate one step type in a move. All other pieces may only make one step per move.
        Returns:
        an array or arrays of directions where each inner array is a legitimate step.

      • getStepReps

        public int getStepReps()
        Returns the number of repetitions of a step are allowed. Rooks, Bishops and Queens may iterate one step type in a move. All other pieces may only make one step per move.
        Returns:
        the number of repetitions allowed.

      • getChar

        public char getChar()
        Returns the unicode character corresponding to a black version of this piece.
