AQA A - level Computer Science Skeleton Code 2023 - Dastan

Hi there,

I've been working on making enhancements, changes and fixing the Skeleton code 2023. However, here is something that I have been working on and can't find a solution.

Q: Add a new move which moves forward until the piece hits the end of the board or hits another piece

I have tried to add a new method for a new move in the Dastan class and then call it, but this didn't work.

Anyone has any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Hello i was just wondering if you could send me the normal code, i have been trying to look for it. As for your question i think you might have to create a class

Unsure if you still need an answer as it's been five months but I mean hey incase you do...

It's quite simple and what you were thinking was correct (well in the sense it would work). For example if you make a blank move called "rook" (for example) you could edit the PlayGame subroutine so that if move selected is "rook" then the finish square reference increases by 10 each time until either it hits an enemy piece of the square isn't valid (using SquareIsValid). From this I just changed the boolean for MoveLegal to be True and carried on.

Hey, would you be able to show your code for the PlayGame subroutine? thanks

Yes I will find it in a few hours although it may be slightly confusing as my Dastan is already pre edited in the sub as it is up to four players on a 10x10 board but it should still make sense.
