Problem statement:

  In a variant of chess called Fischer Random Chess, you start
  the board in a (partially) random position according to the
  following rules. You place the pawns in their normal starting
  positions. Then you place the white pieces in the first rank
  in a random arrangement excepting that:

    o The bishops are each on different colored squares.
    o The king is somewhere between the two rooks.

  Then the black pieces are placed in there corresponding
  places on the other side of the board.

  Write a function (method, procedure, whatever) that returns a
  randomly generated legal arrangement of the eight white pieces.

My approach:

My starting point was a bit of a cheat--a manual algorithm (involving
dice) I saw on the web site where I first read about Fischer Random
Chess. So I sort of knew how my final function was going to work. But
despite that, I think the final solution was better factored and more
understandable than what I would have written without TDD.

The manual algorithm is: place the two bishops, one on a random white
square and one on a random black square. Then place the queen randomly
in one of the available slots, followed by the two knights also in
randomly selected available slots. Then there are three spots left and
you can add the rooks and king in rook, king, rook order to ensure the
king is between the rooks. But it seems like a pain to test since
there's all this randomness, etc.

So I said: Hmmm, well, the first thing I need to do is be able to put
the first bishop on the board. I'll worry later about making it
random:

 (deftest place-first-bishop ())

Hmmm. Can put the bishop on unless I have a board, or at least a row
so let's push one thing on the stack: what test would fail if I didn't
have a way to make a row. Well, I know a row is going to have eight
slots, how about:

  (deftest make-empty-row ()
    (let ((row (frc::make-row)))
      (eql (length row) 8)))

This fails as expected because make-row isn't defined. So define it:

  (defun make-row ()
    (make-array 8 :initial-element nil))

Now, fill out the minimal bishop test:

  (deftest place-first-bishop ()
    (let ((row (frc::make-row)))
      (frc::place-first-bishop row 0)
      (string= (aref row 0) "b"))) ;; aref stands for Array REFerence.

Fails, define a fake implementation of place-first-bishop:

  (defun place-first-bishop (row idx)
     ;; setf is the generalized assignment operator, this line sets the
     ;; 0'th element of row to "b"
    (setf (aref row 0) "b"))

GREEN. Now I need another test to force a real implementation. I need
two test cases that I can 'and' together so I need to refactor the
test a bit, defining a helper function:

  (deftest place-first-bishop ()
    (place-and-check-bishop 0 0))

  (defun place-and-check-bishop (idx position)
    (let ((row (frc::make-row)))
      (frc::place-first-bishop row idx)
      (string= (aref row position) "b")))

GREEN. Now add the new test case, to check that place-first-bishop of
1 actually puts the bishop on the 1st (zero-based index) *black*
square, i.e. the 2nd (zero-based index) square in the row.

  (deftest place-first-bishop ()
    (place-and-check-bishop 0 0)
    (place-and-check-bishop 1 2))

RED. Go fix the implementation.

  (defun place-first-bishop (row idx)
    (setf (aref row (* 2 idx)) "b"))

GREEN. Because I tend toward overtesting and there's only two more
cases, I throw them in:

  (deftest place-first-bishop ()
    (place-and-check-bishop 0 0)
    (place-and-check-bishop 1 2)
    (place-and-check-bishop 2 4)
    (place-and-check-bishop 3 6))

Still GREEN. Now for that other bishop. Hmmm. I start to write;

  (deftest place-second-bishop () ...

but I realize it's going to be a lot like the other test. So I
refactor the existing test first, to let me pass in the function I
want to use to place the bishop:

(deftest place-first-bishop ()
  (let ((fn #'frc::place-first-bishop)) ;; #' means "get the function named"
    (place-and-check-bishop fn 0 0)
    (place-and-check-bishop fn 1 2)
    (place-and-check-bishop fn 2 4)
    (place-and-check-bishop fn 3 6)))

(defun place-and-check-bishop (fn idx position)
  (let ((row (frc::make-row)))
    (funcall fn row idx)
    (string= (aref row position) "b")))

Breifly RED because I forgot the 'frc' to distinguish the
place-first-bishop function I wanted from the place-first-bishop test.
(Hmmm, not sure that's same-name pattern is a great idea but I'll
stick with it for a while yet.) Okay, now I'm GREEN. Onto the new
test. Since I know the pattern now, I'll jump straight to the four
corresponding conditions. Whoops! I just noticed that I forgot to
'and' together the conditions in the other test. I write this one
correctly and fix the other test.

(deftest place-second-bishop ()
  (let ((fn #'frc::place-second-bishop))
    (and
     (place-and-check-bishop fn 0 1)
     (place-and-check-bishop fn 0 3)
     (place-and-check-bishop fn 0 5)
     (place-and-check-bishop fn 0 7))))

RED. As expected the new test fails because frc::place-second-bishop
isn't defined but (phew) the corrected version of the old test still
passes. So define:

(defun place-second-bishop (row idx)
  (setf (aref row (1+ (* 2 idx))) "b"))

RED. Huh? I thought that was going to work. Oh, a bit of hasty
cut-n-paste as I made those four conditions: I screwed up the first
argument to all but the first call to place-and-check-bishop.) Fix the
test:

(deftest place-second-bishop ()
  (let ((fn #'frc::place-second-bishop))
    (and
     (place-and-check-bishop fn 0 1)
     (place-and-check-bishop fn 1 3)
     (place-and-check-bishop fn 2 5)
     (place-and-check-bishop fn 3 7))))

GREEN. Okay. Now I want to put the queen on the board. But it's a
little trickier because I'm going to be starting from some state that
already has two bishops. And it'll be random. Never mind, just pick
one. And cheat and take advantage of the internal representation of a
row in order to make one just the way we want. (The 'vector' function
makes a one-dimensional array of it's arguments.)

(deftest place-queen ()
  (let ((row (vector "b" nil nil nil nil "b" nil nil)))
    (frc::place-queen row 0)
    (string= (aref row 1) "q")))

RED. Define the function with a fake implementation to pass the test:

(defun place-queen (row idx)
  (setf (aref row 1) "q"))

GREEN. However since that's all totally fake I've got to think a bit
about what I really want. When we place the queen, we put it in the
nth empty position. If we had a function that gave us the index of the
nth empty slot of our row array, we'd be in pretty good shape. I'm not
sure how that would all work but I can imagine a pretty trivial case:

(deftest find-nth-slot-at-zero ()
  (= (frc::find-nth-slot 0 #(nil)) 0))

RED. Define find-nth-slot:

(defun find-nth-slot (n row) 0)

GREEN. But fake. Add another test case.

(deftest find-nth-slot-at-one ()
  (= (frc::find-nth-slot 0 #(t nil)) 1))

RED. So fix. At this point I got sort of stuck since I'm also learning
Lisp so it wasn't actually clear how to write the loop I needed to
write even this simple function. So I screwed around for a while with
the interpreter and eventually came up with this abuse of Common
Lisp's powerful LOOP facility.

(defun find-nth-slot (n row)
  (loop with slots-seen = 0
	for item across row
	for idx from 0
	counting (not item) into slots-seen
	until (> slots-seen n)
	finally (if (> slots-seen n) (return idx) (error "No slot"))))

GREEN. As I wrote this function, I realized that I had to do something
if I didn't find the nth slot. I choose to signal an error in the
function but I need a test for those cases. And I'm not *sure* I've
got this thing right, so I want to add a few more test cases. As I do
that, I realize my old test cases are slightly misnamed. So I go ahead
and rename them and write more:

(deftest find-zeroth-slot-at-zero () ;; renamed
  (= (frc::find-nth-slot 0 #(nil)) 0))

(deftest find-zeroth-slot-at-one () ;; renamed
  (= (frc::find-nth-slot 0 #(t nil)) 1))

(deftest find-first-slot-at-one ()
  (= (frc::find-nth-slot 1 #(nil nil)) 1))

GREEN. Add one more.

(deftest find-first-slot-at-two ()
  (and
   (= (frc::find-nth-slot 1 #(nil t nil)) 2)
   (= (frc::find-nth-slot 1 #(t nil nil)) 2)))


GREEN. Starting to feel confident. Let's check one last boundary.

(deftest find-last-slot ()
  (and
   (= (frc::find-nth-slot 2 #(nil nil nil)) 2)
   (= (frc::find-nth-slot 1 #(t nil nil)) 2)
   (= (frc::find-nth-slot 0 #(t t nil)) 2)))
   
Still GREEN. Okay. Now lets put in those missing error-case tests:

(deftest slot-not-found ()
  (handler-case
   (progn (frc::find-nth-slot 0 #()) nil)
   (error (e) (declare (ignore e)) t)))

GREEN.

(deftest no-slot-available ()
  (handler-case
   (progn (frc::find-nth-slot 0 #(t t)) nil)
   (error (e) (declare (ignore e)) t)))

GREEN.

(deftest requested-slot-not-available ()
  (handler-case
   (progn (frc::find-nth-slot 1 #(t nil)) nil)
   (error (e) (declare (ignore e)) t)))

GREEN. Looks like I got that function right. Time to pop the stack
back to placing the queen. First I want to refactor my place-queen
test similarly to what I did with bishop-placing tests:

(deftest place-queen ()
  (place-and-check-queen (vector "b" nil nil nil nil "b" nil nil) 0 1))

(defun place-and-check-queen (v slot idx)
  (let ((row (copy-seq v)))
    (frc::place-queen row slot)
    (string= (aref row idx) "q")))

Still GREEN. Add a test case:

(deftest place-queen ()
  (and
   (place-and-check-queen (vector "b" nil nil nil nil "b" nil nil) 0 1)
   (place-and-check-queen (vector "b" nil nil nil nil "b" nil nil) 1 2)))

RED. Good. Let's go implement place-queen properly:

(defun place-queen (row idx)
  (setf (aref row (find-nth-slot idx)) "q"))

RED. Whoops. find-nth-slot needed 2 args, got 1.

(defun place-queen (row idx)
  (setf (aref row (find-nth-slot row idx)) "q"))

RED. Huh? "error: attempt to take the length of a non-sequence: 0".
Oh, I swapped the argument order.

(defun place-queen (row idx)
  (setf (aref row (find-nth-slot idx row)) "q"))

Finally, GREEN. Now to the knights. A little cut-n-paste gets me some
tests in a hurry as the knight problem is just like the queen problem,
only with fewer slots left.

(deftest place-knight ()
  (and
   (place-and-check-knight (vector "b" nil "q" nil nil "b" nil nil) 0 1)
   (place-and-check-knight (vector "b" nil "q" nil nil "b" nil nil) 1 3)))

(defun place-and-check-knight (v slot idx)
  (let ((row (copy-seq v)))
    (frc::place-knight row slot)
    (string= (aref row idx) "k")))

RED. No frc::place-night. More cut-n-paste:

(defun place-knight (row idx)
  (setf (aref row (find-nth-slot idx row)) "n"))

RED. Huh? Whoops. In the test I used "k" and in the production code I
used "n". In this case the test is wrong; we'll need "k" for king. Fix
the test and ... GREEN. Now time for some refactoring. Combine the
place-queen and place-knight tests and their helper functions into
this:

(deftest place-queen ()
  (let ((row (vector "b" nil nil nil nil "b" nil nil)))
    (and
     (place-and-check row 0 1 "q")
     (place-and-check row 1 2 "q"))))

(deftest place-knight ()
  (let ((row (vector "b" nil "q" nil nil "b" nil nil)))
    (and
     (place-and-check row 0 1 "n")
     (place-and-check row 1 3 "n"))))

(defun place-and-check (v slot idx piece)
  (let ((row (copy-seq v)))
    (frc::place-queen row slot)
    (string= (aref row idx) piece)))

RED. Whoops. Went a little to fast there--funny, the queen test passed
but not the knight test. Oh, I need to pass in the placement function.

(deftest place-queen ()
  (let ((row (vector "b" nil nil nil nil "b" nil nil))
	(fn #'frc::place-queen))
    (and
     (place-and-check fn row 0 1 "q")
     (place-and-check fn row 1 2 "q"))))

(deftest place-knight ()
  (let ((row (vector "b" nil "q" nil nil "b" nil nil))
	(fn #'frc::place-knight))
    (and
     (place-and-check fn row 0 1 "n")
     (place-and-check fn row 1 3 "n"))))

(defun place-and-check (fn v slot idx piece)
  (let ((row (copy-seq v)))
    (funcall fn row slot)
    (string= (aref row idx) piece)))

GREEN. But there's still some near duplication between place-and-check
and place-and-check-bishop. I refactor them in small steps running the
tests as I go. GREEN. GREEN. GREEN. GREEN. GREEN. Okay, now I've
gotten rid of place-and-check-bishop and all the call sites now call
the new version of place-and-check:

(defun place-and-check (fn arg idx piece &optional (v (frc::make-row)))
  ;; &optional makes the argument v optional and (frc::make-row) is
  ;; the default initializer if it's not passed by the caller
  (let ((row (copy-seq v)))
    (funcall fn row arg)
    (string= (aref row idx) piece)))

GREEN. Now one last piece of functionality before I can put it all
together. Fill in the rooks and king in the remaning three empty spots
with the king in the middle spot. So the test:

(deftest fill-in-rooks-and-king ()
  (let ((row (vector "b" nil "n" "b" "n" "q" nil nil)))
    (frc::fill-in-rooks-and-king row)
    (equal row (vector "b" "r" "n" "b" "n" "q" "k" "r"))))

RED. Go write the actual function, which is pretty trivial given the
existence of find-nth-slot.

(defun fill-in-rooks-and-king (row)
  (setf (aref row (find-nth-slot 0 row)) "r")
  (setf (aref row (find-nth-slot 0 row)) "k")
  (setf (aref row (find-nth-slot 0 row)) "r"))

RED! Hmmm. Not that trivial I guess. Ah, a bit of println debugging
and a trip to the manual to find out my Lisp inexperience is biting
me: I needed to use 'equalp' not 'equal' to compare the two vectors.

(deftest fill-in-rooks-and-king ()
  (let ((before (vector "b" nil "n" "b" "n" "q" nil nil))
	(after  (vector "b" "r" "n" "b" "n" "q" "k" "r")))
    (frc::fill-in-rooks-and-king before)
    (equalp before after)))

GREEN. Okay. Now to put it all together. At this point I'm a little
bit stuck. I've avoided having to deal with random behavior up until
now. But it seems like it's time to bite the bullet. I figure I can
generate a random row and check to make sure it's well formed. If so,
I'm pretty confident that it all works as all these pieces are pretty
simple. (Though in theory my algorithm could be busted in some way.)
So to the test, or the beginnings of one:

(deftest generate-random ()
  (let ((row (frc::generate-random)))
    (not (null row))))

RED. Go implement something to make this pass.

(defun generate-random ()
  (make-row))

GREEN. Now raise the bar, making the generate-random test a bit more
rigorous with the aid of some helper functions:

(deftest generate-random ()
  (let ((row (frc::generate-random)))
    (all-pieces-used row)))

(defun all-pieces-used (row)
  (let ((c (count-pieces row)))
    (and
     (= (get-count c "b") 2)
     (= (get-count c "n") 2)
     (= (get-count c "r") 2)
     (= (get-count c "q") 1)
     (= (get-count c "k") 1))))

(defun count-pieces (row)
  (let ((counts (loop for p in '("b" "n" "r" "q" "k") collecting (cons p 0))))
    (loop for p across row
	  do (incf (cdr (assoc p counts :test #'string=)))
	  finally (return counts))))

(defun get-count (counts piece)
  (cdr (assoc piece counts :test #'string=)))
     

RED. Go fix.

(defun generate-random ()
  (let ((row (make-row)))
    (place-first-bishop row 0)
    (place-second-bishop row 0)
    (place-queen row 0)
    (place-knight row 0)
    (place-knight row 0)
    (fill-in-rooks-and-king row)
    row))

GREEN. But there's still some more criteria to add to the
generate-random test:

(deftest generate-random ()
  (let ((row (frc::generate-random)))
    (and
     (all-pieces-used row)
     (bishops-different-colors row)
     (king-between-rooks row))))

(defun bishops-different-colors (row)
  (let* ((b1 (position "b" row :test #'string=))
	 (b2 (position "b" row :test #'string= :start (1+ b1))))
    (and b1 b2 (not (= (mod b1 2) (mod b2 2))))))

(defun king-between-rooks (row)
  (let* ((r1 (position "r" row :test #'string=))
	 (r2 (position "r" row :test #'string= :start (1+ r1)))
	 (k (position "k" row :test #'string=)))
    (and r1 r2 k (< r1 k r2))))

Still GREEN. That's a good news, bad news thing. The good news is
we're green. But the bad news is that generate-random doesn't actually
generate random stuff so we don't have the right test. But it does
generate legal positions. Hmmm. Maybe I can use that. Anyway, I'm
green without a good idea how to get to red so I guess I can do some
refactoring. Let's rename it and give it some optional arguments.

(defun generate-legal (&optional (b1 0) (b2 0) (q 0) (n1 0) (n2 0))
  "Generate a legal FRC starting row. b1 and b2 must be in the range
[0,3], q in the range [0,5], n1 in [0,4] and n2 in [0,3]."
  (let ((row (make-row)))
    (place-first-bishop row b1)
    (place-second-bishop row b2)
    (place-queen row q)
    (place-knight row n1)
    (place-knight row n2)
    (fill-in-rooks-and-king row)
    row))

With the appropriate changes to the tests (change generate-random to
generate-legal everywhere) and I'm still GREEN. Now I have an idea how
to test the random bit. It's a bit of a complicated test but if it
passes were done so I'll go for it. First I need to know what the
distribution of different legal rows is. I little bit of exploratory
programming to generate all possible rows and count the occurrences of
each unique sequence shows me that they're all equally likely. Which
makes sense since there are 1920 (* 4 4 6 5 4) total permutations but
each of them has a doppleganger where the knights get placed in
opposite order by our algorithm. So there are 960 (/ 2 1920) possible
legal rows. (Which matches what I read on the web page about FRC.) So
I start by writing a some helper functions that generate a whole bunch
of random rows and counts how many each times occurs.

(defun random-distribution (iters)
  (let ((distribution (make-hash-table :test #'equalp)))
    (dotimes (i (* 960 iters))
      (incf (gethash (frc::generate-random) distribution 0)))
    distribution))

(defun check-distribution (distribution iters slop)
  (let ((bad '()))
    (maphash
     #'(lambda (row count)
	 (when (bad-count iters slop count)
	   (push row bad)))
     distribution)
    (dolist (row bad)
      (format t "row: ~A count: ~A~%" row (gethash row distribution)))
    (null bad)))

(defun bad-count (iters slop count)
  (or (> count (+ iters slop)) (< count (- iters slop))))

Given that I can write my test:

(deftest generate-random ()
  (let ((iters 10))
    (check-distribution (random-distribution iters) iters 1))o)

And a generate-random function that isn't all that random:

(defun generate-random ()
  (generate-legal))

RED. Since the generate-random function isn't random at all this isn't
too surprising. So let's go put in some randomness:

(defun generate-random ()
  (generate-legal (random 4) (random 4) (random 6) (random 5) (random 4)))

RED. But thanks to my printing I see what's going on. The random
distribution is just too noisy. So I can throw some more iterations at
it and allow more slop.

(deftest generate-random ()
  (let ((iters 20))
    (check-distribution (random-distribution iters) iters 5)))

RED. Hmmm. More iterations and more slop?

(deftest generate-random ()
  (let ((iters 200))
    (check-distribution (random-distribution iters) iters 20)))

Hmmm. This is taking a while. Time to take a break and watch a movie
with my wife. Oh, the test just finished ... still RED. But it looks
pretty random. I just don't know enough statistics to say if it's
random enough. And I'm at the mercy of the underlying pseudo random
number generator. Well, I still have that movie to watch--I'll run it
with some really big iterations and see what happens.

(deftest generate-random ()
  (let ((iters 1000))
    (check-distribution (random-distribution iters) iters 100)))

Movie done. Blech. Still failed. But only two rows were off. This is
getting tedious. And it's silly that it's so slow anyway. Take out the
generate-random test and try a new approach. Here's a new test to get
us going:

(deftest generate-all ()
  (= (length (frc::generate-all)) 960))

RED. Okay. Back to work.

(defun generate-all ()
  (let ((all (make-array 0 :adjustable t :fill-pointer t)))
    (dotimes (b1 4)
      (dotimes (b2 4)
	(dotimes (q 6)
	  (dotimes (n1 5)
	    (dotimes (n2 4)
	      (vector-push-extend (generate-legal b1 b2 q n1 n2) all))))))
    all))

RED. Ah, this doesn't weed out the duplicates. Well, there's a simple
way to do that:

(defun generate-all ()
  (let ((uniq (make-hash-table :test #'equalp))
	(all (make-array 0 :adjustable t :fill-pointer t)))
    (dotimes (b1 4)
      (dotimes (b2 4)
	(dotimes (q 6)
	  (dotimes (n1 5)
	    (dotimes (n2 4)
	      (incf (gethash (generate-legal b1 b2 q n1 n2) uniq 0)))))))
    (loop for row being each hash-key of uniq do (vector-push-extend row all))
    all))

GREEN. Now refactor generate-random to do less work.

(defvar *all-legal* (generate-all))

(defun generate-random ()
  (aref *all-legal* (random 960)))

GREEN. I've left out the generate-random test. It runs much faster now
but still doesn't pass for what seem to be reasonable values for
number of iterations and slop. But since generate-random is now
*totally* at the mercy of the randomness of that (random 960) call,
I'm calling it good enough.

Done. Below is the final code:

;; frc.lisp -- functions for generating starting positions for Fischer
;; Random Chess. In Fischer Random Chess the starting position of the
;; board is determined randomly according to the following rules:
;;
;; White Pawns are placed on their Orthodox home squares.
;; All remaining white pieces are placed on the first rank.

;; The white Bishops are placed on opposite-colored squares.
;; The black pieces are placed equal-and-opposite the white pieces.
