9. Task 1: Displaying chessboard (2pts single person, 1.5pts teams) 80 pixels 60 lines Button 0 : cycle through 16 colors for color 1 Button 1 : cycle through 16 colors for color 2 Color 2 Color 1

10. Task 2: Displaying piece on the chessboard (2pts single person, 1.5pts teams) 80 pixels 60 lines Button 0 : cycle through 16 colors for color 1 Button 1 : cycle through 16 colors for color 2 Button 2 : cycle through 16 colors for color 3 Color 2 Color 1 Piece Color 3 Circle represents a bishop Square represents a rook

11. Task 3: Moving piece (one-space) on the chessboard (rook selected) 80 pixels 60 lines Switch(7)=‘0’ Button 0 : cycle through 16 colors for color 1 Button 1 : cycle through 16 colors for color 2 Button 2 : cycle through 16 colors for color 3 Color 2 Color 1 Piece Color 3 Switch(7)=‘1’ Button 0 : Move piece one square up Button 1 : Move piece one square down Button 2 : Move piece one square left Button 3 : Move piece one square right

12. Task 3: Moving piece (one-space) on the chessboard (bishop selected) entire task 3: (2pts single person, 1.5pts teams) 80 pixels 60 lines Switch(7)=‘0’ Button 0 : cycle through 16 colors for color 1 Button 1 : cycle through 16 colors for color 2 Button 2 : cycle through 16 colors for color 3 Color 2 Color 1 Piece Color 3 Switch(7)=‘1’ Button 0 : Move piece diagonally to the upper left Button 1 : Move piece diagonally to the upper right Button 2 : Move piece diagonally to the lower left Button 3 : Move piece diagonally to the lower right

13. Task 4: Moving piece (multi-spaces) on the chessboard (rook selected) 80 pixels 60 lines Switch(7)=‘0’ Button 0 : cycle through 16 colors for color 1 Button 1 : cycle through 16 colors for color 2 Button 2 : cycle through 16 colors for color 3 Color 2 Color 1 Piece Color 3 Switch(7)=‘1’ Button 0 : Move piece one square up Button 1 : Move piece one square down Button 2 : Move piece one square left Button 3 : Move piece one square right

14. Task 4: Moving piece (multi-spaces) on the chessboard (bishop selected) entire task 4: (2pts bonus single person, 1.5pts required for teams) 80 pixels 60 lines Switch(7)=‘0’ Button 0 : cycle through 16 colors for color 1 Button 1 : cycle through 16 colors for color 2 Button 2 : cycle through 16 colors for color 3 Color 2 Color 1 Piece Color 3 Switch(7)=‘1’ Button 0 : Move piece diagonally to the upper left Button 1 : Move piece diagonally to the upper right Button 2 : Move piece diagonally to the lower left Button 3 : Move piece diagonally to the lower right

15. Task 5 (2pts bonus single person, 1.5pts bonus for teams) Add a Knight to the possible pieces if switch (3) =‘1’ Use the buttons however you see fit to allow the knight to move in the 8 legal ways.

16. Rules If a movement cannot be done (e.g. the move would cause the piece to go off the board) LED 7 should light up and the piece should not move from its previous location. Other than LED 7 all led and Seven Segment displays can be used to print out any information on the state of the execution.

17. Switch functions Switches 0-1 determine current task “00” task 1 “01” task 2 “10” task 3 “11” task 4 or 5 Switches 2 and 3 determine the type of piece selected. Sw(3) ‘0’sw(2) selects between bishop (0) and rook (1) ‘1’ piece is a Knight (task 5)

18. Switch functions (continued) Switches 4-6 determine movement amount in tasks 4 and 5 Switch 7 selects between change color mode and move piece mode. If sw(7) = ‘0’ then up down buttons change only the color. If sw(7)=‘1’ then the buttons give the direction of the movement.

19. Button Functions Button 0 – up or upper left Button 1 – down or upper right Button 2 – left or lower left Button 3 – right or lower right
