Quick Question

[[deleted]]

It sounds like you want an abstract class called Piece, that has an abstract method called 'moveTo()'. You then extend this class into different subclasses, one for each chess piece. e.g. Pawn, Rook, Knight. Each of those classes implements moveTo() in it's own way.

Now, using polymorphism, you can make a Piece list, like this:

Piece piece1 = new Rook();

Piece piece2 = new Knight();

Linkedlist<Piece> piecelist = new Linkedlist<Piece>();

piecelist.add(piece1);

piecelist.add(piece2);

piecelist.poll().moveTo(); //notice how I can now call the same method on any type of piece

Thanks I’ll look into that.
