hi i am making my rook move with the help of validRook() and rookMove() functions..
i have placed validRook inside rookMove so that it is only executed when validRook return s true..
plz see if my validRook algorithm is correct(Note: this is phase 1 of my game and i just wand the rook to move if and only if all vertical path is clear (no killing yet and no horizontal movement yet ))
plz ask questions to clarify yourself and also ignore the other functions for movement of other pieces ,they are commented
