Subject: Distance_to_king

My board is set up so that a8 is 0 and h1 is 63. I know where my king is, for
example whiteKing=60. I want to fill an array[64] with the distance to the king.

Result should be:
e8 : 7 (squares away = king takes 7 moves to go there)
h1 : 3
h8 : 7
c3 : 2

Do you have a formula to calculate this ?

Thanks,

Georg v. Zimmermann
