Knight() [2/2]

Knight::Knight ( int  square, pieceType  type, pieceColor  color  )

inline

Constructs a new instance with valid piece information initialization. Calls Piece class constructor to intialize the member variables.

Parameters

[in]	square	The square of the piece
[in]	type	The type of the piece
[in]	color	The color of the piece
