This resulted in it making the most sense to have this be the feature for pawn movement and thus progress toward implementing the pawn’s movement as well as shaking out…
Having fixed some bugs in the last few episodes, it would have been nice to make some progress with functionality, but there was housekeeping to be done first. I did some refactoring for board setup using the tables, compacting methods, and made the implementation of the moves checker correct. This will put me on much…
This was kind of a wild episode, inasmuch as recording oneself writing code gets wild. This was the second bug driven out by the acceptance tests, but this one was subtle and buried fairly deep in the application logic. This was another half hour episode as I employed a variety of techniques for hunting down…
A bit of time went by between when I recorded the code and when I narrated it, so pardon the unusual amount of rust there. But this episode was particularly interesting because an actual bug emerged and I fixed it. Yay for acceptance tests. After that, a second bug emerged, but I ran out of…
I actually recorded this episode right on the heels of the last one, so that I could keep a good rhythm with the ASCII builder class. I finished that class up here. Here’s what I accomplish in this clip: Finished the class, as I mentioned. Moved the class into the production code. Here are some…
