I now checked the previous code and handling hover is complex not because Winboard uses a referee that is playing a game. The copy of the search stack have to be updated as legs are made step by step. Keeping the state synchronized with the leg move updates on a separate board is what made it complicated.

Quote:

I guess reverse entry could be a convention to make this work. Click any number of empty or opponent squares before you click a piece of your own, and it will capture them all with a multi-leg move (i.e. send 'usermove LEG1,LEG2,LEG3,...' to the engine). With an engine that supports 'click' there would be much more flexibility: the GUI could send the individual squares in any order, and keep that up until the engine/referee responds with 'move' (in the mean time performing highlighting as requested). An engine would be aware of the possible ambiguities in move termination, and could apply its own conventions to resolve them (e.g. to terminate entry that might have continued, click the same piece again as last time).

I read that again. The part I don't understand is why the GUI has to keep a list of clicked squares. If a square not shared between the short/long version of the move is clicked, it is clear the longer version will be made. So we are assuming user only clicked shared squares in which case a signal is required. That doesn't necessarily have to be the piece that has to be clicked again but it makes more sense. Clicking any square twice can be used as the signal too I think.
