chess game delete diagonal movements if pieces block for bishops/queens (java)

I'm making a Chess game in Java.

I did a JFrame that lets me create pieces that is why I have all possibles moves for anypiece (and I'm going to make more pieces than there are in normal chess).

But I have a little problem, its been 2 days I'm trying to delete the movements of bishops, and it not as easy as it seems.

I've an array containing the pieces positon that looks like this :

_______ PIECES[x][y] //1 is black 0 is no piece 2 is white
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 
_______ legalmoves[y][x] //Containing legal moves 1 is move/attack 0 cannot move there
// ( (x,y) (its y x in this tab)
// is reverse because it needs to be somewhere else in the code this is not a big deal)
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 
0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
My piece X,Y : 5 7

The function is called when it needs to know the legal moves of a piece and it has detected that the piece has diagonal moves for this piece legal moves here should look like this

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Because there are other pieces (white) that blocks the moves

Thank you in advance, if you want (if it helps you to help me) I can give you the function of movements for rooks (its when rectiligne movements are detected so it works also for the queen and whatever piece I create that has this kind of moves). code for rooks :

boolean t = false;
   if (hasRectMoves) {
    System.out.println(x + " XY " + y);
    System.out.println("HAS RECT MOVES !");
    System.out.println("_______ PIECES");
    for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
     for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
      System.out.print(pieces[i][j] + " ");
     }
     System.out.println("");
    }
    System.out.println("_______ RES");
    for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
     //System.out.println("i = "+ i);
     for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
      System.out.print(res[j][i] + " ");
     }
     System.out.println("");
    }
    System.out.println("My piece : " + (x + 1) + " " + (y + 1));
    boolean test = true;

    for (int i = y; i >= 0; i--) {
     //res[x+1][i]=0;
     if (test) {
      if (pieces[i][x + 1] != 0) {
       if (this.isBlack) {
        if (pieces[i][x + 1] == 1)
         res[x + 1][i] = 4;//4 to seen in the array where it makes move illegal
       }
       if (!this.isBlack) {
        if (pieces[i][x + 1] == 2)
         res[x + 1][i] = 4;
       }
       // System.out.println(i + " "+ pieces[i][y+1] + " "  + (x+1) + "=x y="+ (y+1)); 
       test = false;
      }
     } else {
      res[x + 1][i] = 4;
     }

    }
    test = true;
    for (int i = x; i >= 0; i--) {
     //res[x+1][i]=0;

         res[i][y + 1] = 4;
       }
       // System.out.println(i + " "+ pieces[i][y+1] + " "  + (x+1) + "=x y="+ (y+1)); 
       test = false;
      }
     } else {
      res[i][y + 1] = 4;
     }

    }
    test = true;
    for (int i = x + 2; i < 8; i++) {
     //res[x+1][i]=0;
     if (test) {
      if (pieces[y + 1][i] != 0) {

       if (!this.isBlack) {
        if (pieces[y + 1][i] == 2)
         res[i][y + 1] = 4;
       }
       // System.out.println(i + " "+ pieces[i][y+1] + " "  + (x+1) + "=x y="+ (y+1)); 
       test = false;
      }
     } else {
      res[i][y + 1] = 4;
     }

    }
    test = true;
    for (int i = y + 2; i < 8; i++) {

Nice project.

I wrote a little example in a main so you can try it out. Sure there is room for improvement.

My output:

3 XY 4
HAS RECT MOVES !
_______ PIECES
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2

0 0 8 0 8 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 

The position of the bishop is labeled with 9. I add every field a rating starting by 8 counting down regulated how far the field is away form the bishop. (I hope this is English?)

Then you have to split the rectangle into 4 subs. For every sub you have to calculate the legal moves separately.

Please try it out. If you have a question please let me know.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{

        int pieces[][] = new int[8][8];
        int res[][] = new int[8][8];

        int x = 3;
        int y = 4;

        System.out.println(x + " XY " + y);
        System.out.println("HAS RECT MOVES !");
        System.out.println("_______ PIECES");
        for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
                if(i<2){ pieces[i][j] = 1; }
                if(i>5){ pieces[i][j] = 2; }

                System.out.print(pieces[i][j] + " ");
            }
            System.out.println("");
        }
        System.out.println("_______ RES");
        for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
                res[i][j] = checkField(i, j, x, y);
                System.out.print(res[i][j] + " ");
            }
            System.out.println("");
        }
        System.out.println("My piece : " + (x) + " " + (y));
        System.out.println("_______ legalmoves");
        // 1. section:
        System.out.println("1. section:");
        calcSection(pieces, res, 0, 0, x, y);

        calcSection(pieces, res, 0, y, x, 7);

        System.out.println("4. section:");

            }

        }

    }
