Great idea, but how would you even go about implementing that? For a game like Yangsi or regular Chess, it would be fairly simple, but for a game like Chu Shogi or Suzumu Shogi, or even regular Shogi, things become really complicated really quick. Chu Shogi and Suzumu Shogi have multi-moving pieces, which required specialized code to enforce properly, namely a modified version of the code in Extra Move Chess that can enforce single and double moves, as well as a special subroutine that determines if a piece moved to a square that allows it to move again. In Chu Shogi, even more specialized code is needed to enforce the Lion-trading rules. Same for regular Shogi, except the specialized code handles drops rather than multi-moving pieces. Thanks to this and the fact that XBetza notation and GAME Code are two wildly different things, it would be incredibly difficult to properly implement the full version of your idea. Still, adding a button that, at the very least, prints out GAME Code functions for each piece, would be a great addition to this page in my opinion.
