Trouble Building Chessboard

I have this code:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void BuildBoard() {
2.  
3.         for (int x = 0; x < 5; x++) {
4.  
5.             for (int y = 0; y < 5; y++) {
6.  
7.                 if (y % 2 == 0) {
8.  
9.                     Instantiate (BlackSquare, new Vector3( y + 2, x + 2, 0), Quaternion.identity);
10.                 } else {
11.  
12.                     Instantiate (WhiteSquare, new Vector3( y + 2, x + 2, 0), Quaternion.identity);
13.                 }
14.             }
15.         }
16.     }
17. }
18.  

I'm trying to instantiate squares that are 600 x 600 px, but I keep getting this:

What's wrong with my code?

Thanks in advanced

 

That's pretty much what you told it to do. For a chess board pattern try:

Code (CSharp):

1. void BuildBoard() {
2.     for (int x = 0; x < 8; x++) {
3.         for (int y = 0; y < 8; y++) {
4.             if ((y + x) % 2 == 0) {
5.                 Instantiate (BlackSquare, new Vector3( y + 2, x + 2, 0), Quaternion.identity);
6.             } else {
7.                 Instantiate (WhiteSquare, new Vector3( y + 2, x + 2, 0), Quaternion.identity);
8.             }
9.         }
10.     }
11. }

For a more dry approach consider

Code (CSharp):

1. void BuildBoard() {
2.     for (int x = 0; x < 8; x++) {
3.         for (int y = 0; y < 8; y++) {
4.             GameObject nextSquare;
5.             if ((y + x) % 2 == 0) {
6.                 nextSquare = blackSquare;
7.             } else {
8.                 nextSquare = whiteSquare;
9.             }
10.             Instantiate (nextSquare, new Vector3( y + 2, x + 2, 0), Quaternion.identity);
11.         }
12.     }
13. }

 

My new code is

Code (CSharp):

1. void BuildBoard() {
2.  
3.         for (int x = 0; x < 7; x++) {
4.  
5.             for (int y = 0; y < 7; y++) {
6.  
7.                 if (x % 2 == 0) {
8.                     if (y % 2 == 0) {
9.  
10.                         Instantiate (BlackSquare, new Vector3( y * 2, x * 2, 0), Quaternion.identity);
11.                     } else {
12.  
13.                         Instantiate (WhiteSquare, new Vector3( y * 2, x * 2, 0), Quaternion.identity);
14.                     }
15.                 } else {
16.                     if (y % 2 == 0) {
17.                      
18.                         Instantiate (WhiteSquare, new Vector3( y * 2, x * 2, 0), Quaternion.identity);
19.                     } else {
20.                      
21.                         Instantiate (BlackSquare, new Vector3( y * 2, x * 2, 0), Quaternion.identity);
22.                     }
23.                 }
24.             }
25.         }
26.     }

But yours is probably cleaner. My other problem is that the squares are overlapping, and I would like them not to.

 

Fixing the overlapping is relatively straight forward. Just multiply the x and y coordinates by the size of the game objects in your instantiate function.

 

wow i wish someone had linked me to this I had the same problem 3 months ago ,it was getting me depressed and this fixed it thank you every one that commented on this you are all awesome
