Oh, wonderful. Which snapshot would that be, exactly? I am looking at http://hgm.nubati.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cg ... ;a=summary and then branch aliennewer. I can't find any reference to Alien in the official GNU repo at http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/xboard.gitabulmo wrote:Rein Halbersma wrote:I either have to use WinBoard Alien (exclusively Windows).
XBoard alien works under Linux. Just get the latest (but old) snapshot and compile it yourself.

Re: Winboard Alien documentation on making checkers variants
You should indeed look in the hgm.nubati.net repository. The Alien branch is a private fork of mine, and not an official GNU branch. My aim is to eventually absorb its distinguishing features in the regular edition.
The aliennewer branch was my latest attempt (but already long ago) to update the Alien Edition with the development of the regular edition. The XBoard compile of that should work, but it would lack the support for the large Shogi variants. You probably would not care about that, though.
