Hi Mojca, The stones are very very nice now, thank you for your hints.
Since I haven't used TikZ before, I have no idea how to handle these events. I'll learn it later and rewrite my module to be more professional :) All I'm thinking now is how to make each step a single symbol so that I could use \fieldstack to demonstrate the game. By the way, I modified my module to do some fieldstack thing, but it gets a weird error. I have no idea what's the error about, it's fine when I'm using MPdrawing environment but it can't output anything when I switch to buffer and use \processMPbuffer.

I've changed your source slightly, to give you an idea of yet another approach: using TikZ. It's main advantage over metapost might be: - you can draw more fancy stones (see the example - that could be made configurable of course), although teoretically the same could be achived with slightly improved smooth shading mechanism in mptopdf macros - might be easier to backport to (La)TeX - I can imagine your module to be a new, really nice TikZ package/module (that could be used in other flavours of TeX) + some fancy ConTeXt additions (user interface, javascript, ...). The main difference is that you need to store all the variables in TeX, not in metapost, so that part should be rewritten as well (which I didn't do). But simply forget about my stupid comments about (La)TeX for and do it your way now. Mojca (I have some other comments, but it's too early to speak about them, since the module is not ready/complete yet.)
