KBoard is a generic game interface for two player turn based board games, and currently supports a bunch of chess variants, connect four, reversi and chain reaction (and more will be added). Kboard also supports network chess play on ics servers, as well as game observation and examination.

We have implemented a quite powerful generic animation engine, and a highly customizable theme specification (based on lua), that can just load everything and create shadows (default theme is SVG, skulls theme too).

At the moment the released code is only based on Qt4, so it should be quite portable, but we will make use of Kde when available in future releases.

Generic game support:

Many board games can be easily implemented using the extensible KBoard infrastructure. So far, the following board games are implemented:

Chess
Crazyhouse
Atomic
Monster Chess (King and four pawns)
Progressive Chess
Reversi
Connect Four
Chain Reaction

Requirements:
qt (at least a 4.2 snapshot)
boost headers
