In the game of chess how do you make the rook and king castle with the mouse?
Pick up the king and drop it on the correct square, the computer software should then move the rook accordingly to the correct square. If you move the rook first, the compute won't realise you want to castle. As the king moves 2 squares, rather than it's usual one square, the software will recognise it's a castling movement.
