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.

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.

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)

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.

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
