N-Queens Game

📌 Overview

This is a C++ console-based game based on the N-Queens problem, where the player must place queens on an N × N chessboard without any queen attacking another. The game ends immediately if a queen is placed in an attackable position.

🎮 How to Play

1. Run the program and enter the board size N.
2. Enter queen positions in the format: row column (0-based index).
3. Type help to highlight all attackable positions on the board.
4. The game ends if a queen is placed in an attackable position.

✨ Features
