bytesToString

public static java.lang.String bytesToString(byte[] bar,
                                             int ofs,
                                             int len)

Convert an 7-bit ASCII byte array to String.

Parameters:

bar - byte[] to convert

ofs - int containing the start offset for the conversion

len - int containing the number of bytes to convert

Returns:

String representation of input

bytesToString

public static java.lang.String bytesToString(byte[] bar)

Convert an 7-bit ASCII byte array to String.

Parameters:

bar - byte[] to convert

Returns:

String representation of input

convertSymbols

public static java.lang.String convertSymbols(java.lang.String s)

Convert all special symbols in the input string by the equivalent external representation.

Internally, a set of special unicode codes in the "Private Use Area" is used for indication of special purpose symbols in chess (such as figurines for pieces, symbols for terms like "with compensation" etc.) The range used for those special codes is 0xEDxx where the xx represents a value in the range 0x00 up to 0xFF.

Parameters:

s - String in which to replace the special characters

Returns:

String containing the input string with special codes converted.

setPieceNames

public static void setPieceNames(java.lang.String kn,
                                 java.lang.String q,
                                 java.lang.String r,
                                 java.lang.String b,
                                 java.lang.String kt,
                                 java.lang.String p)

Set names to use for different pieces.

Parameters:

kn - String to use for king

q - String to use for queen

r - String to use for rook

b - String to use for bishop

kt - String to use for knight

p - String to use for pawn
