I tried changing the baud rate and all but no success.
I am building a checkers game.I have implemented the library and tested it without using arduino and it works fine.
So I don’t think there is any problem with the library.
Basically I want to get input from the serial monitor and draw the board with text and similarly after the computer plays i want to display the output.
The significant code is somewhat like
void loop() {
Serial.print("x");
while(!Serial){
}
drawb();
player();
if(whitewin==1)
{
while(true)
{
}
}
if(draw==1)
{
while(true)
{
}
}
computer();
if(blackwin==1)
{
while(true)
{
}
}
if(draw==1)
{
while(true)
{
}
}
}
void drawb()
{
for(int j=0;j<10;j++)
{
for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
{
if(b->myallpieces[i][j]==NULL)
{
Serial.print(". ");
}
if(b->myallpieces[i][j]!=NULL)
{
if(b->myallpieces[i][j]->pieceval==0)
{
Serial.print("W ");
}
if(b->myallpieces[i][j]->pieceval==1)
{
Serial.print("B ");
}
if(b->myallpieces[i][j]->pieceval==2)
{
Serial.print("w ");
}
if(b->myallpieces[i][j]->pieceval==3)
{
Serial.print("b ");
}
}
}
Serial.println("");
}
return;
}
void player()
{
if(Serial.available()>0)
{
int x;
inx=(int) Serial.read();
iny=(int) Serial.read();
fix=(int) Serial.read();
fiy=(int) Serial.read();
x=b->playedbytheplayer(inx,iny,fix,fiy);
Serial.println(x);
drawb();
if(x==0)
{
player();
}
if(x==1)
{
return;
}
if(x==2)
{
player();//move played was wrong
}
if(x==3)
{
Serial.println("COmputer LOST");
whitewin=1;
return;
}
if(x==4)
{
Serial.println("Draw");
draw=1;
return;
}
}
player();
}
void computer()
{
int x;
x=b->getnextmove(inx,iny,fix,fiy);
Serial.println(x);
drawb();
if(x==0)
{
computer();
}
if(x==1)
{
return;
}
if(x==3)
{
Serial.println("Player LOST");
blackwin=1;
return;
}
if(x==4)
{
Serial.println("Draw");
draw=1;
return;
}
}
I have initialized all the variable in setup.My output is somewhat like this.
b W W W W W W W . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . W B W W W W W W W W . W . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . W W W W . W W W W W W . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . W W W W W W . W W . b . . W W W W W W . . .
And it goes on and on…
Its the same always.
