'Tips for creating an efficient way to populate a chess board (2D array) - Java with chess pieces
I am currently working on creating a chess game in android studio - in Java. I have a board class which contains a 2D array of tiles. Each of these tiles has the possibility (optional variable) to contain a piece. The piece class has sub classes for the different type of pieces.
I am now working on populating the board with the pieces and was wondering if there is some sort of effective way of doing this? I can run through the array with a massive switch case but that just seems dumb.
Also, later on I plan to develop an AI to play against and it would be useful to be able to easily input random board positions to test its capabilities.
Any advice?
