finite verge
finished freecodecamp's c++ course and felt like i could do anything.
welp this took me 12 hours over 4 days, which was way longer than i thought. anyways this has castling, en passant and stalemate.
playing this on main.cpp will give you headaches.
feel free to review the terrible code and maybe give me some suggestions as i move along

you could definitely make board just deal with board things and have a Game class to deal with the state(s) of the game and the move stuff etc.

sounds cool, so a board class for like just the array and a game class ]for everything else?

i would also like to let you know that you could use named constants or other alternatives instead of using numbers and values from who knows where in your code.
especially the main function, I shouldn't really have to know what the if statement is checking for and all by going through the entire codebase or something right?

so a a header file for constants where i could go like const int GAMEOVER = 0 and then while(board.getturn() != GAMEOVER) in my main, and then maybe more constants for the sides (white/black), char constants for the pieces and stuff like that to make my overall code more readable

sure, do check out internal linkage and external linkage in C++. It'll save you some trouble with issues that may arise
