Here's a link to the jocly seireigi and hectochess implementations. It would require to code evaluation function to improve the level of the engine  which still needs to be done, and will probably require some expertise. Personally, I don't mind the computer being beatable.

The link is broken, it seems... Actually, do include the Chu Seireigi implementation. Testing with it will be valuable.

In general, I try to associate a visual with a movement whatever the game in jocly. I don't know if it's the same for everyone, but I have to adapt a lot when the movements of a known piece change. That's why I used the trident that had been envisaged for the whale in chu shogi. I realized that the movement differed from that of the whale in chu shogi when I was making the documentation, and it seemed preferable to me to avoid confusion.

Okay, makes sense.

It would be interesting to add mnemomic sprites as an alternative. I don't know if you'd be interested in making such a file.

Here's an SVG seireigi set if you want to test the creation of a physical game. Example in plywood (compact / cheap and quick to make but rather simple), the color code for laser cutter is red/cutting, blue engraving recto, yellow engraving verso.

Maybe, once I finalize everything.

I am currently testing the KNAD move for the Lion. Unfortunately, I am no carpenter, but your set looks good (though you did forget the Coppers in the plywood example.)
