Learning Haskell with Chess

Exercise 1

Learning Targets

• recapitulate Haskell types (type, data, product and sum types)
• equality (in particular if using Helium)
• pretty printing pieces, boards, ...

Tasks

• Define data types that represent boards, squares, positions, pieces and game states.
• Helium: Implement suited eq-functions.
• Implement a function prettyBoard, that transforms a board into a clearly arranged string representation (human readable :-)). Support this function with auxiliary functions that pretty print pieces, squares, ...
