Finally I've just understood how is orgranized the GCompris project : - the boards implementations are written in C language, under the src/boards folder - the xml definition of the board is defined in boards/ chess_movelearn.xml.in - the pieces are in the boards/chess
Now I am trying to understand : - how is the individual Chess MoveLearn is bundled from the overall GCompris sources - 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).
