The GTK-based UI should either be resuscitated or deep-sixed. The gtk-rs API wasn't stable 3 years ago when I first wrote the GTK-based UI, so some amount of refactoring or rewriting may be in order.

If a better GUI option seems available, then it might be more prudent to do away with the GTK UI altogether in favor of something else.

This project has lain fallow for several years, and it is all kinds of broken in odd ways because it used unstable language features and wasn't kept up with changes to Rust. A bunch of the shenanigans with unboxed closures and iterator types have already been gotten rid of, thanks to impl Iterator, but there's other work to be done before it's possible to play a game on the console again.

It should be possible to read moves in a standardized format like: <side> <from>-<to>(x<capture>)*, e.g., d J4-L6xL6. The console-based UI should be able to accept and write out moves in this format, to enable play with other programs that use it.
