Is it possible to program games on unusually shaped boards if these can be translated into square ones

Game Courier will let you program games on unusually shaped boards with either the Custom Grid or the Custom shape. Custom Grid is designed for games that can fit onto a grid-like structure whereby each space is at the intersection of two axes even if the spaces do not have even sides or right angles.

and movements can be coded with alternating through morph,

The morph feature you mention is part of Interactive Diagrams, not part of Game Courier. But since GAME Code is Turing-complete, I expect the same feature could be programmed for Game Courier. However, Game Courier can also more easily handle location-dependent powers of movement if that is what you actually need.
