The Chess module provides a framework for writing chess programs with Perl. This class forms part of that framework, representing a bishop in a Chess::Game.
Constructs a new Chess::Piece::Bishop. Requires two scalar parameters containing the initial square and color of the piece. Optionally takes a third parameter containing a description of the piece.
There are no class methods for this class.
Overrides base class version. Returns a list of squares that this pawn can reach from its current position. See "reachable_squares()" in Chess::Piece for more details on this method.
This module produces no warning messages. See DIAGNOSTICS in Chess::Board or DIAGNOSTICS in Chess::Piece for possible errors or warnings the program may produce.
Please report any bugs to the author.
