nice to see you back garysgold, did you have a good one?:)

Had a nice trip, Gary?

I picked up my Nokia N900 today, after several days self caused delay. Currently transferring calendar, messages and notes from the old phone which is going to be found in eBay later today.

Had a great time, but it was much colder than it should have been. Spent 10 days at dad's (north of Tampa) and 5 of them the birdbath was frozen in the morning. Warmed up for the last 4 days I was there.

Nice to see you back Gary, why is that you always feel as if you need a holiday to get over the holiday

Today I continued on with my chess program.

Implemented all capture rules and finished movement rules, including pawns only being able to take pieces on a diagonal move.

Got the UI finished properly, with a text box that prints out the messages such as which piece has just moved where, which needed an override of the PrintStream, so instead of printing messages to the IDE console, it prints it to my text box.

Still need to add an algorithm to check for obstacle pieces when a piece is moving to stop pieces jumping over pieces, promotion rule for the pawn and an algorithm for checking if the King is in check, and it's all done

Is that one of your school projects?

Either way, good stuff.
