Checkers board game program

So I'm writing this program. I have the board constructed, and I'm having a problem making a move. At this point I just want to make a move, I'll work on whether it is a legal move after that. The code is posted below. I have a class for board, and the pieces are part of the board class. I also have a class for human move and computer move, however I'm not using those (yet). I don't know whether I need to use a seperate class for the move, or if I can use a function in the board class to make the move.

How about this, with a matching method for computer moves

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. int Board:make_move_by_human( int old_row, int old_col, int new_row, new_col )
  2. /*
  3. return
  4. 0  - illegal or impossible or meaningless move
  5. 1 - OK, move accomplished
  6. *

So I've worked on the code some more and it has changed quite a bit. My problem now is, that I can move a human piece to any "shaded" spot on the board. I'm not sure how to correct this. The code is not completely cleaned up so I appologize.

what does it mean about h=104 in the function human_move()
and who can explain this :
else if (cboard[row-1][column-1]=='q')
{
cout<<"HELLO AGAIN"<<endl;
cboard[oldrow][oldcolumn]=177;
cboard[row-1][column-1]=177;
cboard[row][column]='h';
}

thank you all
