The current square on the board has a red or blue highlight to indicate that if select is used, a piece will be put into that square. If the square selected is not a valid move, no piece will be put in the square (and an invalid move error will be shown). The valid moves have a tiny black spot in them. The undo/redo is not saved when the program exits. Only the current game state is saved upon exit.
