checkerboard of obsidian and pearl tiles. However, Modulo was notoriously lazy and wanted a single set of instructions his apprentices could follow without him being there. 1. Designing the First Row
Create a checkerboard pattern of squares in a graphics window using nested loops. Each square is the same size; squares alternate color (e.g., black and white). The pattern should form an N-by-N grid (commonly 8×8), and the top-left square’s color should follow the specification (typically black).
for (int row = 0; row < ROWS; row++) for (int col = 0; col < COLS; col++) int x = col * SIZE; int y = row * SIZE;
At first glance, it seems simple: draw a checkerboard. However, this problem is a classic exercise in , conditional logic , coordinate math , and efficient rendering . It strips away the fluff of game logic and focuses on the core visual structure of an 8x8 grid.
Once you pass 9.1.7, you’re ready for even cooler graphics exercises — like drawing a chessboard with pieces, or an animated checker game.
The goal is still the same: draw alternating black and red (or black and white) squares that form a chessboard pattern.
