    • nextMove

      @NotNull public @NotNull Move nextMove​(Game game, Move[] availableMoves)
      Choose a move from available moves. This method will be called by Game object to get the move that the player wants to make when it is the player's turn.

      ConsolePlayer returns a move according to user's input in the console. The console input format should conform the format described in the assignment description. (e.g. a1->b3 means move the Piece at Place(x=0,y=0) to Place(x=1,y=2)) Note that in the Game.board, the index starts from 0 in both x and y dimension, while in the console display, x dimension index starts from 'a' and y dimension index starts from 1.

      Hint: be sure to handle invalid input to avoid invalid Moves.

      Attention: Student should make sure the Move returned is valid.

      Attention: Place object uses integer as index of x and y-axis, both starting from 0 to facilitate programming. This is VERY different from the coordinate used in console display.
