A question for Fergus (or possibly Ben). Offhand can you tell me if there is any hopefully straightforward way the Chess Variants Page's Diagram Designer can generate a diagram for a (4x4x4x4) 4-dimensional 4*Chess position? I haven't been able to tell for certain from what little I've read of the Game Courier documentation, though I get the impression creating such a diagram this way may not be simple to know how to do. 

I'm thinking of this as a possible project that I'm not in a hurry to start or finish, but I would like to know how to make such a diagram if I wish to. No hurry for me, that is, since there are about 20 positions I've used crude diagrams for in my 4*Chess webpage submission.

Fwiw Ben's variant 'Tess Chess' webpage shows a 4x4x4x4 4-dimensional variant diagram of his, although the checker pattern for the boards alternates its colours in a different way than it does for my 4*Chess variant:
