Hello everybody!

It's been a while since I passed by here.

After a fairly long hiatus, I got back to my chess GUI project.

The main novelty is the usage of the command line, to allow the user to customize the appearance and the behaviour of the application. The options are listed on the project page.

For example there is an option to select the colors that the program will use to generate the marble texture. Very unnecessary but I am glad of it.

In case someone is interested to compile the program, I would be glad to help. There is no particular difficulty, except that you have to download three or four libraries, and to tell the compiler where the libraries are (either you create a Lazarus project, or write a script, or retouch and use the included Makefile). When you download fpGUI, please choose the develop branch.


Regards.

Roland
