<div dir="ltr">Finally I've just understood how is orgranized the GCompris project :<div><ul><li>the boards implementations are written in C language, under the src/boards folder</li><li>the xml definition of the board is defined in boards/<a href="http://chess_movelearn.xml.in">chess_movelearn.xml.in</a></li>
<li>the pieces are in the boards/chess</li></ul></div><div class="gmail_extra">Now I am trying to understand :</div><div class="gmail_extra"><ul><li>how is the individual Chess MoveLearn is bundled from the overall GCompris sources</li>
<li>if I can easily change the chess board behaviour, just for Chess MoveLearn, particularly in order to highlight some cells (either by a blink or using a special color), and - for the theory part - to animate pieces on the board. (Though I think it can be better to use a child window instead when teaching pieces movement : so the animations would be managed in this child window).</li>

<div>Ok.

(a long time ago) they used goocanvas</div>

<div>IMHO, PyGame does not integrate well with gtk, and we see different issues with activities using it,<div>better use Gtk3 or do a web activity.</div><div><br></div><div>Gonzalo</div></div><div class="gmail_extra">

<div>Hello everyone,<div><br></div><div>I plan to write an activity in order to let users learn basics chess rules.</div><div><br></div><div>But I am wondering whether I should write it in GTK3 or PyGame as I don't know if the real XO (not the emulator instances like in my environment) has already an installation of PyGame, so that no extra work need to be done in order to install the activity I'll try to write.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance.</div></div>
