Checkerboard Game Logic

[Dgonzalez1]

im at a point where, i cant continue. im totally stuck.
i want to switch all the valid empty pieces that can move with "E" for empty.
im also having trouble with the logic of the c++
how would i change the color of @ or $

[code]
include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

cout << "Player 2 [@] \n\n";

cout << "A capital letter represents a king piece.\n";
cout << "Rows and columns are counted starting from 0, not 1.\n";

i know for the "E" it would be a switch statement, but i have no clue on how to go to that
